Roman Concrete
#1
According to Rome:Total War (an event window that pops up) The "Porticus Aemilia" near the Tiber was the First Concrete building.
In the message it states that it consisted of:

Rubble
Mortar
Volcanic Ash
Water

and formed inside of wooden moulds.

I wonder if there is more detail and if anyone knows or has tried the mixture ratios.
