I believe the answer is: Roman artists used the contrapposto pose that is seen in Classical Greek sculptures.

The contrapposto depict a human figure that stands in a way that rest its weight on one leg only. This pose is perceived by many people to exude power and confidence. This pose is originated in ancient greek and the roman artists started to use it to depict famous figure such as emperors or military leaders.
