The history of concrete begins in ancient Rome. The Romans found a way to produce artificial stone - with which they constructed the Coliseum, for example, and the famous Pantheon Dome.

In these entertaining weekly episodes our Chemical Reporter answers questions on Chemistry in our everyday life.
