For a long time, Roman art was somewhat overshadowed by the art of ancient Greece. It was only in about 1900 that a search began for ancient Roman art and architecture. Part of the "Basic Genre" series, this volume features works of Roman art, such as: Augustus of Primaporta; Gemma Augustea; and Lycurgus beaker.
