Historians generally consider the ancient period of Egypt to be from about 3150 BC to 332 BC, that of Greece from 1200 BC to 600 AD, and that of Rome from about 800 BC to 600 AD. Depending on their country of origin, they might also include works from China and India. When students or museumgoers are asked to name examples of art from ancient times, they frequently list examples from Egypt, Greece, or Rome.
