Why did the egyptians put so many columns in their homes?
There is no evidence that they used columns in their HOMES. They used them in their temples because they needed to support the roof and did not know how to build arches. (Arches need less columns)
In The Roman structure that features heavy use of arches and columns is the .?
The Romans rarely combined arches and columns. Large Roman buildings, the bridges and the bridgework of aqueducts made extensive use of the simple (barrel) arch and the vaulted arch (or vault, for vaulted roofs). Arches did not need columns. When the Romans combined arches with columns it was for decorative purposes. Roman ttemples were based on Greek models and were post-and-lintel structures resting on columns. Because of this, they did not have arches.
Which two civilizations did the Romans get the columns and arches from?
The Romans derived their architectural elements, such as columns and arches, primarily from the Greeks and the Etruscans. From the Greeks, they adopted the use of columns in various styles, including Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. The Etruscans contributed to the development of the arch, which the Romans further refined and used extensively in their engineering and architecture. This combination allowed for the creation of impressive structures like aqueducts, basilicas, and triumphal arches.

How can you tell a Roman temple apart from a Greek temple?
One way to differentiate Roman temples from Greek temples is by looking at the architectural details. Roman temples typically have more ornate and elaborate designs, including intricate carvings and sculptures. Additionally, Roman temples are often more massive in scale compared to Greek temples.
A series of arches supported by columns or piers or a passage way formed by these arches IS WHAT?
I'm not so sure if it's correct, but I think it's an arcade.
What distinguished Roman architecture?
The Romans adopted the Greek orders (styles) for columns and capitals (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) and the Greek way of building temples. However, the also revolutionised architecture in what has been called the Roman architectural revolution or concrete revolution, which used concrete, the arch and the vault. Although concrete had been used by other peoples before the Romans, it was used only rarely. The Romans were the first to make a large scale use of it. They were also the first to make large scale use of the barrel (simple) arch and the vaulted arch or vault (two to four intersecting arches). The arch has a great load bearing capacity and the vault is suited to building large roofs. Roman concrete was as strong but different than modern concrete. It was less fluid and had to be layered by hand. Building in concrete was quicker and cheaper than building laborious masonry walls and did not require skilled workers. These three elements enabled the Romans to go beyond the post-and-lintel construction methods of the Greeks. The use of columns did have an influence in Roman life. The Romans continued to build temples the Greek way. They also liked to enclose their squares with quadriporticos; colonnaded porticos along the four sides of the square. The gardens of the houses of the rich were also surrounded by quadriporticos. This was modelled on the houses of rich Greeks. The Romans also still used columns for the architecture of large buildings. Their basilicas (large public buildings) had two piers (rows of columns with or without high arches at the top) along the central area of these rectangular structures which supported the roof and two aisles on along the sides of this area. At one end of the building there was an exedra (Greek) or absis (Latin). This was a Greek architectural feature, a semi-circular recess or plinth covered by a semi-dome set in the walls of a building. The architectural structure of the Roman basilica provided the model for the Christian churches of western Europe. Nowadays we call the exedra/absis apse until very recently.
