Answer:

The answer is True.

Step-by-step explanation:

In classical arts, emperors were portrayed as powerful and victorious persons. Marcus´s equestrian statue was the first one that shows the burden of ruling an empire and the sadness and worries that war brought about for him. The sculpture reflects the true feelings and thoughts of the emperor and marked the end of the domination of classical arts in the Greco Roman World.
