A. Mau is a German scholar who founded four different styles of Roman murals painted in volcanic ashes of Vesuvius Volcano in Pompeii, Herculaneum, Boscoresual and other small places. The style starts from one direction, is completely transformed, and ends with a combination technique. The style I called the crust started in the 2nd century BC. This style has a great influence on the surface decoration of Greek Greek era. At the Samnite House in Herculaneum, the walls are painted with artificial marble panels.

The painting style of Rome shows the influence of Greece and the surviving example is a mural pain mainly used to decorate the walls and the ceiling of a mansion, but the Roman literature includes paintings that point to trees, ivory and other materials It is included. Several examples of Roman paintings were found in Pompeii, from which the history of Roman painting was divided into four periods. The first style of Roman paintings was from the beginning of the 2nd century BC to the middle of the 1st century BC or the middle of the Middle Ages. It consists mainly of marble and masonry counterfeit, but sometimes contains a depiction of mythical characters.

Roman artists, craftsmen, craftsmen immigrated to the east. The capital continues their trade. For example, Haya Sophia of Constantinople, one of the most famous examples of the Roman dome, offers employment opportunities to about 10,000 of these experts and other workers.

Later in the period from 350 to 500 AD, mural paintings, mosaic ceilings, floor work, and funerary sculptures became popular, but full-size sculptures of circles and panel paintings disappear for religious reasons Did. When Konstantin moved the capital of the Empire to Byzantium (renamed Constantinople), the art of Rome blended into the influence of the East and created the Byzantine style of the late Empire. When Rome was dismissed in the 5th century, craftsmen moved to the eastern capital to find work. Constantinople's Hagia Sophia cathedral is famous for Ravenna due to the explosive explosion of Roman art under nearly 10,000 workers and craftsmen and the emperor of the Orthodox between 527 and 655 BC I ordered the creation of a name.
