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.

The Romans rarely combined arches and columns. Large Roman buildings, the bridges and the bridgework of aqueducts made extensive use of the simple (barrel) arch and the vaulted arch (or vault, for vaulted roofs). Arches did not need columns. When the Romans combined arches with columns it was for decorative purposes. Roman ttemples were based on Greek models and were post-and-lintel structures resting on columns. Because of this, they did not have arches.

Why do Roman aqueducts have arches?
Romans aqueducts had arches when the water conduit was placed on top of arched bridgework. This was done when the aqueduct crossed a river or a valley or when a gradient was needed to keep a gradient to keep the water flowing in flat areas. Romans aqueducts consisted mostly of underground conduits.
How is the way you build different from the Romans?
We do not always build differently than the Romans. There are places on the planet that still build houses and small shops with four walls a tile roof and a floor. The identical way the Romans built their small structures. In our domestic buildings we differ from the Romans in our choices of materials and the safety of those materials concerning fireproofing, allergens and personal safety. In our public or industrial buildings we use steel beams, basements and subbasements and reinforced concrete. Power machinery is used in all of our construction work while the Romans used manpower.
