"In fact, the names of Roman artists are rarely recorded. This is probably because Roman artists were of low social status since they came from the slave population or from the freedman class and were considered mere artisans. Such was the fate of both the greatest artists of the day who worked in the emperor's court and of the lowly stonecarvers employed in workshops producing sepulchral reliefs for the tombs of freedmen. . . . Just as the son of a Roman senator was destined to be a senator himself, the son of an artist was likely to follow in his father's footsteps. Artistic dynasties were the rule in republican and Augustan times, and these were organized along the lines of their classical and Hellenistic predecessors. In fact, the family workshops that produced statuary for Roman patrons in the late republic and in the age of Augustus were themselves Greek."
