Arches

- Romans improved Greek designs by introducing new building techniques.

- Vaults, Basilica, Dome, and Arch


Roman Cement

- Opus caementicium, or Roman concrete, consisted of three parts which included

slaked lime, or lime to which water was added, volcanic ash called pozzuolana

from the town of Pozzuoli in Italy, and fist-sized pieces of rock.


Aqueducts

- Rome was the only ancient city with a feasible water supply, nearly two hundred cities in

the Roman colonies that had these structures.

- Aqueducts greatly affected the Romans’ luxuries of irrigation, flushing toilets,

underground sewage systems, fountains, and ornate public baths


Roman Roads

- Ancient Romans built a road system of more than one hundred fifty-two thousand miles, or

two hundred forty-five kilometers, stretching from Britain in the west to the Tigris and

Euphrates Rivers in the east, and reaching the Danube River in the north and as far south

as North Africa.

- These systems of roads aided in the movement of military troops regardless of weather

conditions and the overseeing of Roman provinces in various locations and cultivated

people of all manners into underdeveloped areas, which later, stimulated the growth of

villages and towns close in their proximities.
