Civil engineering, evidenced in the roads and aqueducts which still are functional throughout Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Herod the Great, arguably Roman by adoption was a master of such including what may have been his own invention of concrete used in the harbors of Actium, Caesarea Philippi (Maritima), and Alexandria and enabling plastic construction of extended structures like the domes of the Pantheon and Tomb of Hadrian, as well as Nero's rebuilding of burnt-out Rome with highrise tenements and a new level of urban squalor.
