Thanx!Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well, for one, Roman mosaics are the only way we know what Greek frescoes looked like!. The Romans often "copied" Greek paintings into their mosaics!. Like, in Pompeii, there's a mosaic of Alexander the Great going to battle against Darius (Persia)!. This was originally a Greek wall fresco which has since been lost!. Thanks to the Romans, we have a well-preserved copy of it!. Later on, after the western Roman empire fell, the Byzantine Empire incorporated mosaics into their churches and buildings - that style remained mostly unchanged from around the 5th Century CE up until the 15th Century CE!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
