Detailed explanation-1: -Differences between Ancient Roman Sculpture and Ancient Greek Statuary. While Greek statuary was created to represent idealized human forms of athletes and gods, Ancient Roman sculpture represented real, ordinary people with their natural beauty and imperfections.
Detailed explanation-2: -The origin of the realism of Roman portraits may be, according to some scholars, because they evolved from wax death masks. These death masks were taken from bodies and kept in a home altar. Besides wax, masks were made from bronze, marble and terracotta.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a nutshell, Ancient Greek artists more focus on individualism and idealism, whereas ancient Roman artists more focus on realism and highlighting the spirits of their rulers.
