The Age of conquest begins from the time of formation of the Roman Empire, when Rome gradually expanded its control throughout the Mediterranean basin, from Spain to the coasts of Asia Minor. This period saw the formation of a purely Roman figurative language, which capitalizes on the entire Greek artistic culture, which in time is received, absorbed and modified.
