← HistoryWhich problem primarily constrained large-scale Roman concrete (opus caementicium) production?
A)Aggregate supply seasonal interruption✓
B)Cement kiln temperature control
C)Transportation infrastructure capacity
D)Pozzolan depletion long distances
💡 Explanation
Large-scale Roman construction relied on readily available aggregate near construction sites. Aggregate supply seasonality hampered construction using hydraulic concrete, mainly due to seasonal harvesting and quarry constraints. Therefore, this limited yearly output, rather than transportation constraints.
