How did roman arch improve on the post-and-lintel system used by the greek?

The Etruscans are said to have invented the simple arch, or barrel arch. The oldest example of the vaulted arch has been found in the Greek city of Pergamon (in western Turkey). The vaulted arch came into forms, the groin arch where two to four barrel arches intersected and the rib arch, where the intersecting barrels were not of the same diameter. The Romans were the first to make extensive use of the (barrel) arch and the vault. This came as part of what has been called the Roman architectural revolution or concrete revolution. The Romans invented a form of concrete which was as strong as modern concrete. The Romans started making arches and vaults in concrete (although stone-made ones were not abandoned). Concrete was modelled in arch or vault formwork. This made the building of these structures quicker, gave it a stronger material, made it possible to build bigger ones, and lead their monumental use of a much grander scale. The Romans were also the first to build large and monumental domes. Again this was made possible by the use of concrete. The best example of this is the dome of the rotunda of the pantheon in Rome, which is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. This was a temple dedicated to all gods and is well preserved because it was converted into a Christian church. The Romans experimented with the pedentive dome in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. It was fully developed with the revolutionary dome of for the famous Hagia Sophia church in Constantinople (which is now Istanbul) in the 6th century. It is a masonry dome. Pedentives are triangular segments of a sphere which fill the spaces between four arches placed in a spare shape and form a continuous circular of elliptical base which supports the dome. Prior to the pedentive, squinces were used to build octagonal or spherical domes on top of square rooms. Squinces were fillings in the upper corners of a square room. Masonry was used to fill the corers with a vice placed diagonally. They could also be placed on top of four corbelled arches placed to form a square, again, diagonally across the corners of the rooms - corbel arch was similar to but not as good as a "true" arch. This technique was invented by the Persians and was used during the Sasanian Empire (the last of the four pre-Islamic Persian empires, 224-651) to build large domes. The pedentive was a more advanced structure and allowed for building much larger domes
