Classical art and literature was used as models of perfection and opposed to the. Corrupted culture of the hellenistic period: appreciation of art of pheidias was already an important part of the propaganda of flamininus in the 2nd macedonian war. A retrospective taste developed in rome and its territories: both in literature and in art, the neo-attic trend developed = based on the imitation of 5th and 4th c. (classical era) athenian models. 146 bce: destruction of corinth: greece is now under the control of rome. 133 bce; death of attalos iii, who had bequeathed his reign to rome.
