Description   
Some Hellenistic rulers bequeathed their kingdoms to Rome after their death. By the second half of the second century BC the whole of the Eastern Mediterranean, including Greece, Macedonia, Anatolia, Syria and Egypt had come under the rule of Rome.

Examples of sculptures from these regions, thus Romanized by peaceful means, share common characteristics with Hellenistic sculpture. In other words, the Roman copied earlier works of art produced and became the bearers of an older sculptural tradition. This transfer can be observed in the objects which have survived to our day.
