    For interest, a paper last week has identified that the Romans used quicklime in their concrete, enabling it to self-heal cracks and remain standing today.

    There's an easy-ready version on the MIT website: https://news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106 and the scientific paper (not behind a paywall) is at https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add1602
