It is shameful that the architect who designed it, Apollodorus was executed by Emperor Hadrian.

Roman cement, modern concrete. I know, semantics… but it matters. We only just figured out how the Romans made their ‘self healing’ cement. It’s pretty awesome!

From what I understand, this was the largest domed structure in the world, until they built the Houston Astrodome… 1840 years later.
