Aquaducts. viaducts, etc.
The Romans discovered the beauty and utility of the arch. Once discovered, the arch began showing up everywhere, for every imaginable use.
The Greeks had used columns and slabs, much more limited than the arch. Remember the Parthenon. But, arches are much more flexible.
That last one certainly took some guts!
