The Romans used arches for support in construction, such as in buildings, aqueducts and bridges. They also used the arch as a memorial monument to emperors.
The Romans did not specifically create any one material to built aqueducts and arches. Their arches were mainly stone, some faced with concrete, depending on the purpose for the arch. The aqueducts were large diameter ceramic pipes. On the above ground aqueducts, these ceramic pipes rode atop the arches and they were the aqueducts in the underground ones. The 10th Legion's ceramic workshop has recently been found in Israel and it shows their ceramic kiln rooms and workrooms.
The Romans rarely combined arches and columns. Large Roman buildings, the bridges and the bridgework of aqueducts made extensive use of the simple (barrel) arch and the vaulted arch (or vault, for vaulted roofs). Arches did not need columns. When the Romans combined arches with columns it was for decorative purposes. Roman ttemples were based on Greek models and were post-and-lintel structures resting on columns. Because of this, they did not have arches.
Parts of the aqueducts were placed on arched bridgework. Some of these bridges were very high and had two or three tiers of arches.

A lot of buildings have arches because their a sturdy structure and it helps hold up the building
Aqueducts, sewers, bridges, embankments, paved roads, arches, cranes, mining machines, war machines, massive buildings which created engeneering challenges, the use of concrete and many others

Arches as architecture, (see the origin of the discipline) seem to originate in the 2nd millennium BC, in Mesopotamia. Used in buildings, bridges, and aqueducts. Much used by the Romans. many different shapes exist for stable arches. One of their merits is that they may be constructed from simple materials, and simple techniques. There are also several quite natural arches in existence.
They brought water to their cities by the use of their famous aqueducts. If the terrain were uneven, arches were used to support the piping. However, most Roman aqueducts were underground, so uneven terrain would not be a problem.They brought water to their cities by the use of their famous aqueducts.
