To get a building square the Romans used the the groma and the set squares (L-shaped tools used to check the angle of the brickwork).
The groma surveying instrument originated from Mesopotamia which was adopted by the Greeks in the 4th century BC, who then introduced it in Italy. It was a wooden vertical staff with two horizontal bars mounted at the top at right-angles with a bracket. Plum lines hung from the two ends of each bar. It allowed to survey straight lines and right-angles, to calculate squares or rectangles.
