Pretty much an all of the above answer. They also invented hydrolic concrete. This is limestone cement mixed with pummace, and it sets or cures underwater. Concrete also gives off emense amounts of heat during curing. Which helps construction work in cold climates. It presents problems in warmer climes. The Hoover Dam project. Was set in stages calculated to prevent overheating and potential weakening of each section. This is common to all large construction projects. Steel reinforcing helps strengthen structures. But this may be compromised by excessive heat affecting the temper in the steel rebar. Unfortunately, history is usually taught ss though everone before modern man was of inferior intelect. Well, to orive that fantasy wrong. Just take a look out of the window!

Romans had elevators. Granted they weren't like what we have today obviously. They were also slow as you-know-what. Because the they used the weight of water to hoist it up, I believe that they were rare yet allegedly the Colosseum had one. If you think they had water channel running in, under and all around it. The possibility of having a water elevator isn't all that improbable.

Well the concrete we use is dollar store concrete by Roman standards. The roads they built with them are still being used

Considering they don't know how they made it, it's not still used in cities today. The concrete used today is less superior.
