The Roman heating system was called a hypocaust. How did Romans heat their homes?Rich Romans liked to be warm and cosy. They had central heating at home, in villas and in public baths. The heating system was kept going by slaves, who kept a fire blazing in a furnace to heat warm air. The warm air moved around the building through spaces under the floors and between the walls.

They used it to build the dome of the Pantheon, which even today is still one of the largest single-span domes in the world.The also used concrete to build the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, and even an underwater port facility at Caesarea (in Israel).One of the greatest feats of Roman engineers were the Roman roads.hey used it to build the dome of the Pantheon, which even today is still one of the largest single-span domes in the world.
