I assume you meant ancient roman sculptors. Ancient Rome implies a periods of Roman republic and early Roman Empire (1). If so then I must stress that early roman work was influenced by Etruscan and ancient Greek cultures.
Most famous Roman Statues that we know today were actually inspired by the Greeks. In fact, many wealthy Romans commissioned copies of Greek Statues to decorate their villas and gardens. The Romans, however, did develop their own sense of style over time. Also unlike Greek sculpture, which portrayed people in their ideal form, Roman statues aimed for a more realistic view. Consequently, the Romans most significant contribution to the art of sculpture was realistic portraiture, in which they recorded even the homeliest facial details
While the names of ancient Greek has survived to our days such Myron, Phidias, Polyclitus, Praxiteles, Lysippos, and Scopas) unfortunately the names of Roman sculptors remain obscured by the lack of historical records.

Roman Sculptors

Donatello
Ghiberti
Brunelleschi

Those are three-I don't think there are a lot of Roman sculptors recorded even though there is a lot of artistry left by them.

Michelangelo is also a sculptor, but was known more as a painter.

Depends on what you mean by "Roman". Do you mean Roman as in the "Roman Empire" dating from 140 BC to 500 AD, or do you mean scupltors living in Rome???
Please let me know, because I can help you further!
.......
ah, you meant the ancient sculptors!

I must agree with Edward D's answer: it is very difficult to find the name of a single roman sculptor.

I have looked trough my books, but I can not find any names. I am sorry!

The other aswers are mentioning artists from the Renaissance, some 1000 years later! (mostly based in Florence, Italy)
