These include aqueducts, concrete (opus caementicium), road networks, sewers and sanitation systems, apartment buildings (insulae), central heating (hypocaust system), villa system (rural estates), irrigation and water management, crop rotation, terracing, animal-powered mills and plows, wine and olive presses, storage infrastructure (dolium, granaries), surveying tools (e.g., groma, chorobates), urban planning (grid systems, public spaces), postal system (Cursus Publicus).
