What is the difference between brick veneer and brick masonry?
Masonry implies bricks, blocks, or stones held together with mortar. Bricks are fired ceramic. Blocks are usually formed concrete. And stones are formed naturally and quarried from the earth. They are held together with mortar. Concrete is used as mortar, but concrete can also be poured to make slabs and foundations. I think the difference is that concrete can be used by itself without being considered masonry. For example, even statues can be made from concrete by pouring them into a mold.

What materials did Romans use to build arches?
The Romans did not specifically create any one material to built aqueducts and arches. Their arches were mainly stone, some faced with concrete, depending on the purpose for the arch. The aqueducts were large diameter ceramic pipes. On the above ground aqueducts, these ceramic pipes rode atop the arches and they were the aqueducts in the underground ones. The 10th Legion's ceramic workshop has recently been found in Israel and it shows their ceramic kiln rooms and workrooms.

Can you use loctite to bond ceramic tile on concrete floors?
You can use Loctite power Grab to bond ceramic tile to concrete. However, it would be very expensive and take longer as it's in a tube. There are many tile cements in buckets that would cost MUCH less and be faster to use. I would use Loctite only for tile repairs.
