The Romans did this thing called Equestrian Statues and one of em was this statue called Marcus Aurelius which was the only equestrian bronze to survive in such a good condition, Michaelangelo even did a copy of it.
another cool thing thing that the romans did was the column of Trajan, which actually had trajan's ashes inside. it was covered with Bas relief, which is like flat statues ona wall, kinda like a coin. the whole column was covered with this bas relief and it was wrapped arounf it like a comic strip that recorded all of his conquests and victories.
the romans used paintings as well as awesome architecture. they put paintings in their homes as decoration, family portraits or fake landscapes. they used fresco painting to decorate rooms too, a fresco is a painting in wet plaster.
