The Roman bathhouses were made of concrete with a facing in stone or bricks.
the lightweight concrete weights are depends upon their aggregates.... basically the weight of lightweight concrete is 50lb/cubic feet

the name itself says the concrete used here is of light weight.....the best example of this kind of structure is PANTHELON....
Roman concrete was no different from regular concrete, so I'm fairly sure I still do.
