The Hellenistic Period begins when Alexander the Great expires and his empire is liquefied. The art of this time is symbolic of the breakdown as pain, suffering, ecstasy and some other emotions are expressed. Later, the Etruscans fabricate pottery and sculpture as funerary offerings - not unlike the Egyptians. The Romans conquer Greece and proceed to lop off the heads of many Greek sculptures. Large scale works are common, as are mosaics, fresco paintings and arches.
