Building materials found in partially constructed rooms in Pompeii offer clues into how ancient Romans made cement, according to research published in Nature Communications. These insights improve our understanding of ancient Roman technologies that have kept structures standing for centuries.🏺 🧪

An unfinished Pompeian construction site reveals ancient Roman building technology - Nature Communications
Here the authors combine microstructural and chemical analysis of building materials collected from an active construction site in Pompeii prior to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. Through these analyses, they identify the  key raw materials and processes used in the production of Roman concrete.
