Roman columns served both structural and decorative purposes in architecture. They supported the weight of buildings, particularly in temples and public structures, while also enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the design. The use of different orders—such as Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian—allowed for stylistic variations, reflecting the grandeur and cultural values of Roman society. Additionally, columns often symbolized strength, stability, and the power of the Roman state.

In The Roman structure that features heavy use of arches and columns is the .?

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.
