WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Relying heavily upon Greek models, the Romans often constructed buildings and houses that implemented Greek styles such as colonnades and rectangular based designs. Essentially, all “furniture, utensils, houses” and “colonnades” were all the result of Greek models (Wedeck, 197).

Detailed explanation-2: -As mentioned, the most obvious similarity between Roman and Greek architecture is the use of the Ionic, Corinthian and Doric orders. The Corinthian order was developed by the Greeks but the Romans favored it and used it to construct more buildings than the Greeks did.

Detailed explanation-3: -Greek culture and art which transformed the Roman culture and civilization was the main influence for Roman art and architecture.

Detailed explanation-4: -Republican Roman architecture was influenced by the Etruscans who were the early kings of Rome; the Etruscans were in turn influenced by Greek architecture. The Temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill in Rome, begun in the late 6th century B.C.E., bears all the hallmarks of Etruscan architecture.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the late 18th century, an artistic movement emerged that was dedicated to the revitalization of ancient Greek and Roman styles and ideas about art, called neoclassicism. The neoclassical movement was especially inspired by ancient Rome, to which artists looked for ideas about painting, sculpture, and architecture.
