The Romans adopted all of the three Greek orders: Ionic, Doric, Corinthian. They did not prefer one over the other. Each was used on the basis of the effects an architect wanted to achieve.
The Romans also built what two Renaissance architects Leon Battista Alberti and Sebatiano Serlio ranked as a separate order: the Composite order. It combined the spiral scroll-like ornament of the Ionic order and the acanthus leaves of the Corinthian order.
Sebastian Serlio also described other order which he called the Tuscan order. This is a rustic, more solid and less ornate style. No clear descriptions of this order by the Romans have been found. They ignored it
The Romans fused silica, the main component of the local sand, and soda by heating them. The silica is the main component of quartz and non- tropical sand. The soda they used was nitron, a salt which was found on dry lake beds. The main source of this salt was Egypt. The Romans also used lime as a stabiliser.
