The correct answer is false.

It is false that the Romans used the knowledge of concrete that they gained from the Mesopotamians in order to help build their aqueducts and other structures.

The Romans were known for the concrete that was used to build magnificent structures such as the Colosseum. Pliny the Elder said that the Roman Concrete was made of a very good material that resulted from the combination of the volcanic ash from the Gulf of Naples. The ash had mineral characteristics that made possible the formation of cement of good quality.
