Ancient Rome boasted impressive technological feats, using many advancements that were lost in the Middle Ages and not rivaled again until the 19th and 20th centuries. An example of this is Insulated glazing, which wasn't invented again until the 1930s. Many practical Roman innovations were adopted from earlier Greek designs. Advancements were often divided and based on craft. Artisans guarded technologies as trade secrets. Roman civil engineering and military engineering constituted a large…

they did the arch, concrete, the covus, the aqueducts, etc. Below I explore these two art forms towards the end of Roman Republic and into the Empire period, roughly 200 BCE to 200 CE.

This incorporated the arch and the vault, which were bound to convey Roman designing into an advancement specifically far from that of antiquated Greece, who favored "post-and-lintel" building techniques to curves and arches. Accordingly was established the framework of the art in which the Italic people groups were to outperform the Hellenes: auxiliary…
