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.

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?

Oh, dude, it's like telling apart a taco from a burrito! Roman temples are usually more grand and have a front porch with columns on all sides, while Greek temples have columns only in the front. So, if you see columns all around, you're probably looking at a Roman temple. But hey, as long as they both have a spot to praise some ancient gods, who really cares, right?
