Reflecting on Roman Architecture

Earlier In the trimester I wrote a paper about the characteristics that define Roman Architecture. In the paper I explained that the three main elements that define Roman architecture are arches, vaults, and concrete. When I presented I showed structures like the aqueducts and the Colosseum (Pictured Below) because, when most people think of Rome and architecture, that is what they think of. If you go back through this blog, you can see, in every post, that in all the structures that are shown they have used at least two of these three elements, sometimes more than once in their design.
