  1. whats important? 1 ) advanced roads 2) Columns and arches. With these methods the romans were able to construct bigger temples and buildings than ever before. 3) Roman Architectural Innovations - Most important among the structures developed by the Romans themselves were basilicas, baths, amphitheaters, and triumphal arches. 4) they made one change which allowed their concrete to last through the centuries in spite of weathering. The use of concrete created a whole new "canvas" of building facades. Design was no longer restricted to the weight supporting elements of a building's face and could be turned more into decorative items. thats all i could find x
