DEBUNKING the Roman Concrete Hype

The ancient Roman Empire is renowned for many things, including its impressive architectural feats. The Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the aqueducts are just a few examples of the engineering prowess of the Romans. One material that is often credited with making these structures possible is Roman concrete. However, a closer examination of the evidence suggests that the hype surrounding Roman concrete may be overstated. The first thing to consider is the fact that many of the ancient Roman structures that we admire today have not stood the test of time as well as we might think. The Colosseum, for example, has undergone extensive restoration and repair over the centuries. The Pantheon, meanwhile, has been rebuilt several times since its original construction. Even the aqueducts, which are often cited as examples of the durability of Roman concrete, have required significant repairs and maintenance.
