This thesis examines the physical properties of Roman pozzolanic concrete and analyzes how this material dictated specific architectural features. The two features discussed are the stepped rings around the Roman Pantheon's dome and the semicircular arches in Roman bridges, exemplified by the Puente de Trajan in Alcantara, Spain. The author looks at modern Neoclassical constructions in the United States whose architects imitated these features, and addresses how Roman culture influenced an American identity developed by the Founding Fathers, specifically Thomas Jefferson. This analysis helps explain why modern architects and engineers would copy ancient designs when their updated technology and different construction techniques render them unnecessary. The author argues that these Roman designs, iconic enough for imitation millennia later, would have been impossible without the concrete the Romans developed. Even in the modern structures built with more advanced technology and materials, the capabilities and limitations of the original material still guide the design, as engineers and architects in the United States continue to mimic features that today are structurally avoidable, in order to establish their modern culture as an inheritor of Rome.
