In this paper I will discuss the development of both concrete and the arch, and I will include the importance of each in the life of the Romans and the results of their use. The arch was very important for the Romans. They didn’t invent it, it was used many years before by the Egyptians, and others (The Influence, n.d.), but the Romans greatly improved it.

In engineering, be that as it may, the Romans consumed some imperative methods from the Etruscans before Greek impact was conclusively felt.

Accordingly was established the framework of the art in which the Italic people groups were to outperform the Hellenes: auxiliary…

We will strategically place four implants (two near the front of the arch and two near the back, at an angle) to offer the support needed for a full arch of replacement teeth.

were very strong. The arch was borrowed by the Etruscans. The arches soon lead to aqueducts and dome ceilings. The aqueducts, or water bridges brought water to the citizens of Rome - which was used for drinking, baths, sewers, and fountains. Many of the aqueducts invented in that time were below ground. The Romans were the first to harness that water power. Since the arches were used to bear heavy loads, the Romans invented the dome ceilings. In Rome, they invented bridges - which were made out…

of bronze lettering. Some famous arches in Rome were the Arch of Constantine and the Arch of Septimius Severu. The earliest known triumphal arches date back to the 2nd century BCE.

of the builder in question and the population density of the cities involved (Moore 1995). The resultant effect are minor innovation from what was learnt from the classical Greek architecture (Kamm 2017a).
