Ancient Roman Architecture developed different aspects of ancient Greek architecture and newer technologies such as the arch and the dome to make a new architectural style.
Roman architecture flourished throughout the Empire during the Pax Romana. Its use of new materials, particularly concrete, was very important feature.Hence i chose the topic Roman Architecture because, I fell so inspired by the beauty of the style.
I found real richness in the style of the Roman Architecture, the significant use of the vaults and arches, together with the sound knowledge of the materials.

The Arch of Septimius Severus in the ancient city of Leptis Magna - Libya - early 3rd century AD - note the broken pediment - this is highly innovative and rare in Roman architecture of the period
