An extended arch is called a vault. Most tunnel are built using vaults. It's a bunch of arches put together.
The arch is important because it is a marvelous way to structurally support the mass of a building roof, a railway line, or an aqueduct, like the ones the Romans built. Some of the arches built by Romans stand today, and they offer a mute testament to the effectiveness of the arch in engineering. The arch is still in wide use today, and we even see big glue-lams (wood glued to laminate it to make large beams) in the shape of arches. The arch has a long history in structures man has built. And, to there are other ways to span large open areas, the arch still shows no signs that it won't be around to span more modest distances to create open space beneath.

The Romans developed by themselves: the paved roads, the aqueducts, concrete, the first sailing ship which did not need oarsmen, a catapult that could shoot arrows with accuracy with a range of 350 metres (1148 feet), cranes which could lift weights of 6,000 kilograms (an amazing feat for the time), the vaulted arch (the Etruscan invented the arch and the Romans invented the vaulted arch) and much more. The Romans were the greatest engineers of antiquity.Although mosaics existed before the Romans, they were crude. The Romans perfected mosaics to a high art. They also invented the fresco and cameos.
the Romans created the arch
The Romans developed or improved upon various forms of technology. By using their "gromma" they surveyed and layed out their roads. They developed concrete and used it in different weights in their domes (the pantheon is a prime example). They also perfected the arch in buildings and bridges. They developed the syphon and grading system that they used in their aqueducts and they developed central heating.
