Answer 2

Some symbols that we commonly associate with Christianity today such as the cross are represented in this Rome artwork because the cross was more explicitly Christian than other ambiguous symbols.What is the history of Rome artwork?In history, the art of the Ancient & Republic Rome includes architecture, painting, sculpture and mosaic work. Also, some luxury objects in metal-work, gem engraving, ivory carvings and glass are also sometimes considered to be minor forms of a Roman art even though they were not considered as such at the time. A sculpture was considered as the highest form of art by Romans but the figure painting was also highly regarded. History tells us that large body of sculpture has survived from about the 1st century BC onward and probably nothing that a contemporary would have considered to be of the highest quality.The pottery was not a luxury product but a vast production of "fine wares" in terra sigillata which were decorated with reliefs that reflected the latest taste and provided a large group in society with stylish objects at what was evidently an affordable price.
