The architecture of the Romans
Roman buildings such as the Colosseum, the aqueducts or the Roman Forum still exude a great fascination today and are tourist attractions. The majestic buildings reflect the high level of engineering skill of the time, which is still used as a model today. For example, the Romans developed concrete in the 2nd century BC by mixing lime mortar with sand and gravel. This made completely new structures such as multi-storey buildings, barrel vaults and domed buildings possible. In combination with the column construction method copied from the Greeks, picturesque buildings such as the Pantheon in Rome were created. These had a lasting impact on the image of the Roman city. In addition to elaborate buildings, the Romans also revolutionized the urban infrastructure. They built paved roads, bridges and water pipes, which made it possible to create beautiful gardens even in dry, densely populated urban areas.
