The Roman Period
The Roman empire at its height stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to well into Asia and from Scotland to Africa. The empire was thus in a position to absorb a very broad combination of art influences, including the great achievements of Ancient Greece and those of the Etruscan civilization. Consequently the art of ancient Rome was a mixture of influences.
In later centuries Italian art has developed those influences in new directions. The Christianisation of Rome gave new focus to Italian artists and the sheer size of the empire resulted in a stylistic division between the art of the western empire and the art of Byzantium.
