A Roman arch is a curved structure commonly used in ancient Roman architecture, known for its distinctive semicircular shape. This type of arch is made up of wedge-shaped stones, called voussoirs, which are arranged in a circular pattern and held together by the keystone at the top. Roman arches are highly regarded for their strength and durability, allowing them to support heavy loads and span large openings. They were widely used in the construction of bridges, aqueducts, and monumental buildings, contributing significantly to the architectural advancements of the Roman Empire. The design of the Roman arch has influenced many architectural styles throughout history.
