The arch of Constantine was made in 312-315 C.E. in Rome. It was made out of marble and porphyry. It was made in honor of Constantine the Great, who was the emperor of Rome from 306 to 337. The Statue of Hatshepsut, made in 1458 B.C.E., was made for the pharaoh of Egypt, Hatshepsut. She ruled from 1479 to 1458. Both of these artworks were made for the rulers at the time.

https://smarthistory.org/persian-art-an-introduction/ . . . . This artwork is called Assyrians with Rams from Apadana, Persepolis. This image was made on stone. It shows two muscled men walking next to two very muscular and powerful looking rams. Both the men look to have a sort of simple cloth covering over the top of their heads.They both have hair that comes down to the bottom of their neck. The bottom of their beards look to line up with their hair. The mens' bodies seem to be very even, from their chest down to their hips. There is a faint line on their elbow that may suggest they are wearing a shirt with sleeves. Both the rams have horns that curl towards their jaw. The horns also have rings around the horns, very much like real rams. Their fur has a look of scales rather than actual sheep fur. The ram's faces are also much more detailed than the men's faces. You can clearly see the shape of their nose and nostril. You can also see the curve of the mouths and the eyes...
