Rome did not invent cement, but they significantly advanced its use and development. The Romans created a form of hydraulic concrete by mixing lime with volcanic ash, known as pozzolana, which allowed their structures to set underwater. This innovation contributed to the durability of many Roman buildings and infrastructure, some of which still stand today. While earlier civilizations used forms of concrete, the Romans perfected it for large-scale construction.
