What is Eddystone Lighthouse and Roman Concrete about?
Ancient concrete was used as early as 800 BC in Greece and the Middle East. The Romans extensively used concrete from 300 BC to 476 AD in many structures like aqueducts and bridges. Modern concrete differs in that it uses Portland cement and can be poured into molds, while Roman concrete was hand-laid. Concrete use increased greatly in the industrial era and it is now the second most consumed substance after water.
