The Romans adopted the Greek orders Styles) for making columns (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) but also developed the composite style, which combined aspects of two reorders. They used columns for the temples and for porticoes.
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.
The Romans derived their architectural elements, such as columns and arches, primarily from the Greeks and the Etruscans. From the Greeks, they adopted the use of columns in various styles, including Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. The Etruscans contributed to the development of the arch, which the Romans further refined and used extensively in their engineering and architecture. This combination allowed for the creation of impressive structures like aqueducts, basilicas, and triumphal arches.
