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.
What do these aqueducts tell you about the Romans skill at bulding?
Parts of the aqueducts were placed on arched bridgework. Some of these bridges were very high and had two or three tiers of arches.

When the Romans built aqueducts on top of each other why did they have the arches on the extra aqueducts?
The Romans did not build aqueducts on top of each other. When the aqueducts had to cross valleys the water conduit was put on top of bridgeworks. When the bridgework needed to be high, the Romans achieved this height by building two or three rows or arches on top of each other. This was done to reach the height and maintain the structural solidity the arched offered. There was only one water conduit at the top. The Romans also tried to keep the gradient of aqueducts slight to avoid the water gathering too much speed.
