Document Summary
We need to note roman encounters with greek art and the historical context of how. The first strong encounters were through trade with greece. Greek communities such as naples and expansion toward south of naples. Hannibal trying to take over rome and eventually carthage, he spent 15 years in italy, during this time greeks came to help rome, leading large amounts of greek art to rome. Syracuse, terentum, and campania areas had lots of artworks. Victorious roman generals brought back large quantities of greek paintings. The armies marched through the streets singing songs and parades of soldiers and those who had been captured, commander rides in chariot (ceremonial, they didn"t actually fight with chariots) Metal works were melted down, but many statues and paintings were reappropriated in. Arch of titus, rome ad 81: erected in honor of the emperor titus.
