History of Western Art
The first sculpture is of the early imperial periods. There is no victory illustrated, but we see a leader with some followers under his lineage. The second sculpture is of the republic representing someone who has risen to power within the Roman emperor. The sword in his hand illustrates that he has led his people into conquering the war. It highlights some personal diplomatic victory of a king, and the son of the goddess stands at his right ankle to reinforce his right to rule. In both, there is an essence of the system of governance present as they all portray leaders.
Both Greek and Roman temples have been constructed using marbles. The roman temple has colonnade throughout the entire perimeter, whereas the Greek temple has columns placed only at the front. The Greek temple has small podiums of about three steps, whereas Etruscan has a high podium. The roman building is an imitation to the Greek marble with free structured ionic columns, whereas the Etruscan temple has stairs built at the front of the temple. The Greek temple has three steps throughout the entire building, whereas Etruscan temple steps are only located at the front view. Lastly, the Greek has sculptures within friezes, pediments, and metopes, whereas the Etruscan bronzes are only found on the roof.
