Greek Came First
It was the great age of developing ideas in art, science, politics and more.
In art Romans were influenced by the Greeks who were absorbed into their empire.

Greek Art
Very few Greek painted pictures have survived the 2500 years since they were painted. So most of what we know about Greek art comes from the pictures they painted on fancy pottery.

Greek Art
Pottery, even if it gets broken, can be put back together, and a good deal of it has even survived whole, mostly in Etruscan tombs.

Greek Art
But by around 450 BC, just eighty years after the invention of red-figure painting, hardly any vases were still being produced. We don't really know why this happened. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/

Greek Art
Maybe the Athenians were rich enough that they didn't need to sell their pottery to other people. Also, the Etruscans, who had bought a lot of this pottery, were no longer doing very well by 450 BC, and maybe they couldn't afford to buy Athenian pottery anymore.
