You are probably referring to the barrel vault, which was used extensively by the Romans. It was not really invented by them, as it had been used elsewhere earlier, but it was adopted by them as an efficient way to build strong structures and was systematized to the point that its engineering was pretty much understood.

What is a vault in ancient roman architecture?
The vault, or vaulted arch is a structure made up of two or four intersecting arches. There Romans had two types: the groin arch, which is formed by two to four intersecting barrel (simple) arches and the rib arch, where the intersecting arches are of different diameter.
