Which problem primarily constrained large-scale Roman concrete (opus caementicium) production?

💡 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.

• Which limitation faced by Roman engineers restricted extensive terrace farming efforts?
• Which risk increased for the Inca when knotted-string quipu failed to accurately record tribute?
• Which limitation impacted the precision of 18th-century sextant readings to determine latitude?
• Which risk increases when Roman road construction deviates substantially from standard practice?
• Which consequence resulted from the Roman road's camber?
• Which outcome arises when prolonged use of terrace farming leads to reduced soil organic matter?
