The Ancient Romans were responsible for the invention of concrete. Roman concrete was used in construction throughout the late Roman Republic era until the fall of the Roman Empire. The concrete was composed of a type of aggregate (rock, ceramic tile and rubble from previously demolished buildings) and binders (gypsum and lime were used, but volcanic sand was preferred due to its resistance to salt water).
