Sure beats the he** out of todays' modern cement, ........eh ?. Too much water, in modern cement. NOT enough : The Ancient Romans' concrete consisted of a mix of volcanic ash or also known as Pozzolana, lime, and water to make a mortar . The mortar was then mixed with the aggregate, often chunks of rock, to create Ancient Roman concrete. For a thorough understanding, of Roman methods ; find ' 10 Books on Architecture, by Vitruvious ''. This, is an intro - there is LOTS more.... Vitruvius (flourished 1st century BC) was a Roman architect, engineer, and author of the celebrated treatise De architectura (On Architecture), a handbook for Roman architects. Little is known of Vitruvius’ life, except what can be gathered from his writings, which are somewhat obscure on the subject. Although he nowhere identifies the emperor to whom his work is dedicated, it is likely that the first Augustus is meant and that the treatise was conceived after 27 BC. Since Vitruvius describes himself as an old man, it may be inferred that he was also active during the time of Julius Caesar. Vitruvius himself tells of a basilica he built at Fanum (now Fano).
