Statuette of Venus AD 175-200 Rome |
Roman marbles never broke free of Greek marbles. The curators' notes for most of these objects – now at the Getty in Los Angeles – are at pains to link up Roman work with specific Greek models that were universally famous in antiquity. In almost every case the original Greek exemplars are now lost past recovery, surviving only as written references and in these mostly broken shadow-works manufactured by the Romans.
