1. I'd say all of the above.
2. The innovations with the rounded arch is Roman. I believe that cement is Greek. And I also believe that combining the practical and decorative thing was a later time in Rome, somewhere closer to the renassaince.
3. All of the above is the correct answer. http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/architecture-history.htm#roman
