Roman Cement I was watching a show on the History Channel on Rome. Very interesting I must say. I was very intrigued with the Roman Cement, how it lasted 2,000+ years and all. So I did a little web searching, and to no avail, I could not find directions on how they made it. I know they used volcanic ash and that made the cement set under water (I don't need to do that). But does anyone know how to make cement from "your" natural surroundings? If you could pass along the information, or point me in a direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Sorry, but ancient Macedonia was 100% Macedonian.

Re: Roman Cement http://clg-evariste-galois.scola.ac-...e/pantheon.jpg The roman pantheon is most intact ancient structure I've come across... The dome is made completely of concrete...2000 years old and still actively in use. The day I visited there was a funeral going on in there, as it is now in use as a church, not a pagan temple. Roman concrete is great, but my true love in Roman plumbing. :bath:
