# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of Roman Art, a style from Historical Styles, c. 509 BCE–476 CE.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: joining civic narrative, lineage and government through portraits, buildings and sequential scenes, or adding individual faces, urban space and engineered mass to a classical reference. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Veristic portrait heads recording age and individual difference
- Historical relief unfolding events in continuous scenes
- Public architecture repeating arches, vaults and domes
- Wall painting and mosaic opening rooms into fictive architecture and gardens

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Set portraits and narrative scenes in an axial architectural frame, moving time through continuous horizontal bands
- Type and lettering: Use Roman-capital proportions for inscriptions and assign longer reading to a modern legible text face
- Material and surface: Separate the uses of marble, bronze, red-brown plaster and stone or glass mosaic, preserving differences in aging
- Colour: #C9B69A carries the ground, #8A3F32 is the colour the style is remembered by, #263F4A holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: trust, luxury, technique

## What goes wrong

Copies of Greek statues and gladiator props are not enough. Look for individual portraiture, civic narrative and organized architectural space.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
