What material was used to build the Colosseum?
Concrete was basically used. The outside was faced with travertine and the upper levels were brick- faced concrete. Marble for the seating and decorative works. Iron for the cages and wood for the floor and elevators.
How did the ancient Romans make concrete?
The best definition of concrete I heard was 'liquid stone'. And that's the way the Romans used it. In Reculver in Kent in England I was able to examine some Roman concrete close up in a fort and was astonished by its hardness considering it was 2,000 years old and close to the sea. My father was an architect and once told me the Romans used whites of eggs in their concrete mix to give it adhesion, strength and hardness.

Where does the April come from?
The girls' name no doubt comes from the month which gets its name from the Romans. The derivation of the Latin Aprilis is uncertain- it may be derived from a word that meant to open up, as do the buds of spring.

Did The Romans used the knowledge of concrete that they gained from the Mesopotamians in order to help build their aqueducts and other structures?
It is unlikely that the Romans used knowledge of concrete gained from Mesopotamia. Concrete was made on a very small scale in Mesopotamia and the Romans devised their own concrete long before they got anywhere near Mesopotamia. A more likely source of inspiration would have been the Greeks who made mortars from a pumice called Santorin earth- named after the island where it was extracted. Pumice is a glassy volcanic rock. The Romans took cement making to a higher level. The kind of pumice they used was a finer grained one called pozzolana - named after Pozzuoli, a volcanic area by Naples. The Romans devised lime mortar-pozzolana pastes as binders for concrete (Vitruvius wrote of a 1:2 ratio for buildings and a 1:3 one for underwater concrete). Thus pozzolana was used as an additive to mortar, rather than using it alone as a mortar. When pozzolana is mixed with lime, it forms a light-weight, smooth, plaster-like concrete. Sand and stone rubble or rubble from previous buildings was used to add strength to it. The Romans invented a form of concrete which was much stronger than any previous one and which measures up to modern Portland concrete. The first known use of concrete by the Romans was the building of the piers of the port of Cosa (SW Tuscany) in 273 AD. Prior to this the Romans made their structures with rock blocks and bricks -which continued to be used.
