The Romans developed not only new ways to build more efficient
buildings but also a entirely different purpose for the building to be
built. While still showing the beauty that was skillfully achieved by
the Greeks and adding their own practically and ingenuity, the Romans
developed an architectural style that remains to this day.
The Greeks people built beautiful architecture for the worship of
their gods, and a large percentage of the ancient Greek architecture
that we still know of today were temples. The gods were the driving
force behind any major architecture of the Hellenistic period.
It also seemed that, like statues, Greek structures were only meant to be viewed from the outside. The buildings were artistic in nature from an outside viewpoint, whereas inside, they were fairly dull. Roman interiors, however, were equally beautiful on the inside as on the out; with painted walls, and careful thought as to where light would fall naturally on certain areas of a room.
