In my opinion the Romans are better than Greeks.They are each unique in their own ways and have many similarities and differences. I'm not very interested in art containing mythology and daily life. I'd rather look at art with fascinating scenes depicting architectural scenes in nature. Romans were really big on presenting the beauty of nature at its finest. One of my favorite Roman nature paintings is the "Pin", by Suhair Al Shamary, because it looks almost identical to one of the views of my grandfathers (who is no longer alive) Pond. It looks like my parents and I sitting on the other side while my grandpa catches frogs for me. (I did not enjoy getting muddy as a child.) Roman art is more realistic and captures historical events.

Historically the Romans actually followed the Greeks until they defeated them in 146 B.C.. Their idealistic differences are well known when comparing artworks.

They built we'll know Aqueducts, roads, baths, walls, theaters, temples, arcs, cities, palaces you name it. Some of the things they built still stand to day and are visited year around. They are also known for creating the alphabet that we use today minus the fact that we added a couple of letters such as "W". In some circumstances we use Roman numerals from time to time and everybody is required to know how that is to be done. The Romans also created the Twelve Tablet and Justinian Code which we take for granted. They created basic laws and wrote them down on twelve bronze plates which was known as the Twelve Tablet. Later in all of them were constructed together in one piece known as the Justinian Law, which forms the basis of all today's justice system in the western world. The Romans were very well educated and will always be remembered for their skills. With that said, again the Romans are better than
