Abstract
Roman cement had a short period of significant use in comparison to lime and Portland cement. Despite this, there is a legacy of fine buildings of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in whose construction Roman cement was used, about which conservators need to be informed. This paper provides a brief history of the material, its characteristics and the mortars used for stucco and cast decorative elements with due recognition given to the surface finishes which were required.
