How were Romans artists influenced by the Greeks?
The main Greek influence on Roman art was in sculpture. During the period of the Roman Republic, Roman sculpture was portraiture sculpture (busts). The establishment of rule by emperors saw the introduction of full body statues in the Hellenistic style of the Greeks. Due to the perfection of Greek sculpture the Romans did not try to imitate their sculpture. They either hired Greek sculptors or made reproductions of statues by great Greek sculptors. The Romans adopted the three Greek orders (styles) for making columns: Doric Ionic and Corinthian. They also introduced the Composite order, which mixed elements of two of the mentioned orders. They used columns to build porticoes and temples. Most of the latter were built in the Greek style. Some of the later temples, instead, were circular and had a dome and were a Roman invention. For the rest, Roman architecture was Roman. The Romans effected what historians have called the Roman architectural revolution which transformed ancient architecture by making large scale use of concrete, the arch and the vaulted arch (or vault). The Romans learnt mosaic making form the Greeks and most recorded names of Roman mosaic workers are Greek. Sometimes Roman mosaics and frescoes depicted scenes from Greek myths.

Compare Greek and roman art and architecture?
Columns were an important architectural element in both the Roman and Greek cultures but the two groups used them differently. While the Greeks favored the Doric and Ionic style of column, the Romans liked the Corinthian and the Composite styles. The Greeks surrounded their temples and public buildings with a ring of columns but the Romans only used them in the front of their buildings. Another difference was in the materials used to build private homes. the Romans used durable materials such as brick and stone; the Greeks used stone for the foundations of their houses, but constructed the upper floors and inner walls of mud brick, which have not endured over time.
In The Roman structure that features heavy use of arches and columns is the .?
The Romans rarely combined arches and columns. Large Roman buildings, the bridges and the bridgework of aqueducts made extensive use of the simple (barrel) arch and the vaulted arch (or vault, for vaulted roofs). Arches did not need columns. When the Romans combined arches with columns it was for decorative purposes. Roman ttemples were based on Greek models and were post-and-lintel structures resting on columns. Because of this, they did not have arches.
