Rome

As we go into Roman history, we begin to see many architecture advances being made. While they do use various techniques from other ages, such as the post and lintel technique and columns, they also make their own techniques up as well. For example, the Romans were the first civilization to create concrete, which alone is a huge revelation in the architectural world. But with this, they are able to create stronger, sturdier buildings that will last thousands of years.
They also made a huge development of the arch, barrel vault and domes.

 Like many other people that we've seen in the past, most of their structures were dedicated to religions and memorials. But for the first time we see a designated place for entertainment. One of the most well known examples of ancient architecture is the coliseum, which was developed by the Romans. This massive arena holds at least 50,000 people and uses a variety of architectural techniques, such as the arch and several different columns.

Another major development from the Romans is their creation of an apartment-like structure. Which of course had a major impact on modern day styles.
