In this book, we’re going to cover the engineering and construction work done by the Ancient Romans. So, let’s get right to it.





The Ancient Romans had ad- vanced skills in engineering, ar- chitecture, and construction. It’s been thousands of years since some of these marvels of con- struction were built and many still have significant pieces that are standing despite earthquakes and other natural disasters.







Ancient Roman Architecture











Before the Romans, many cul- tures including the Egyptians and Greeks had grand architec- ture, but their buildings were more beautiful from the outside than from the inside. Ancient Romans changed architecture forever. Their buildings were just as grand on the inside as the outside.





THE ROMANS USED CEMENT AND CONCRETE
One of the reasons that so many Ancient Roman structures are still standing today is because they used forms of both cement and concrete. They first began to construct using concrete over 2000 years ago and they used it in everything they built—roads, monuments, aqueducts, bridges, and buildings.
