= = =4. Summary = =As far as Roman Architecture goes, its not comparable with other nations arounds the world. The Romans were the first to make many discoveries that enriched their architecture. The things that were the most interesting to me were their arches, cement use, and columns. Romans used arches as a way of making a roof, doorway, or window without using beams. Romans made an extensive use of columns, arches supported much more than windows and roofs. Arches can be seen throughout the Roman Empire, they were used to support roofs in buildings, to support roads, to support aquaducts for the carrying and supply of water and to support bridges.
