Aqueducts were build by the ancient Romans to transport water into their cities. They look somewhat like a railway bridge.
The Colosseum, the Pantheon and Hadrian's Wall are three of the most famous structures that the Romans built.
The Romans built structures called aqueducts, both above ground and underground, to move water. But that was not all. They used syphons and pumps and pipes in addition to the large aqueducts. These later devices could direct the water to where it was specifically needed.
Romans build monuments because they have superb engineers and their monuments make an impression on tourists.

The Colosseum, the Pantheon and Hadrian's Wall are three of the most famous structures that the Romans built.
The Romans used something called an aqueduct to bring in water from lakes to their city. Aqueducts are tubes that go through mountains are elevated above valleys with a very slight angle downward then entire time. The downward slope ensures that the water will flow without the need for any sort of pump.
The ancient Romans used their engineering skills to build aqueducts, bridges, roads, domed structures, the hypocaust heating system and any other building projects they undertook.
stone to an extent, if the aqueduct were to be above ground and needed support. However the essential ingredient in an aqueducts was the pipe that was used to transport the water and this was made of ceramic. Ceramic was used both for the above ground structures and for the underground ones.
The Romans invented concrete to build taller and more stable structures than ever built before. They invented the arch which can hold up a building with a single keystone.

Nothing really, it was there long before the Romans ever came to Britain.
Concrete is very important to the Romans because they were the first people who invented the hydraulic cement based concrete. The Roman did build very many concrete structures like the Pantheon in Rome.
They built them in Britain, Pompeii, and most important Bath, England
