In Ancient Rome, the G-ds were still a large part of the culture, but with more wealth came more time allowing for more leisure activities. The new heavily populated cities of Ancient Rome called for more public places. Like every major change in culture, the growing population required new solutions for the construction of an infrastructure which supported the exponential increase of social interaction. Architects were tasked with designing aqueducts, baths, amphitheaters, and to support the growing communities. The post and lintel system, so heavily relied on in prior years, was soon deemed insufficient to support these larger public facilities, nor was this technique realistic to meet the demand of construction created by the growing population.
