How do domes connect with rome?

The Romans perfected the construction of domes. Roman domes were built for baths, palaces, villas and mausolea (singular mausoleum, a monumental, free-standing burial chamber). Domes became important for bathhouses because their shape and the circular room layout they required helped to distribute the heat of the hot rooms evenly. They also became a feature of some imperial palaces and villas. They became a standard part of Roman architecture starting with the emperor Trajan (reigned 98-117). Mausolea became domed rotundas. Thanks to the use of Roman concrete, domes became large monumental structures. The dome of the Pantheon (a temple in Rome which became a Christian church) is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. It has a diameter of 43.3 metres (142 ft.)
