Modern concrete has a lot of different mixes and without reinforcement can support more weight than Roman concrete but we can also reinforce and tension it too
Unfortunately, the only cement mix we have is the bastardized one handed down to us from Emperor Concretius, but that dates from after Rome had become a sea power, and consequently lost their ability to maintain their characteristically hard public erections.
And we’re lucky to even have that! While it would certainly be nice to have the ability to bless our erections with the near-supernatural potency of our forebears, I highly doubt that we’ll ever be able to get as hard as the Romans were in the foreseeable future.
