Vitruvius specifies a ratio of 1 part lime to 3 parts pozzolana for mortar used in buildings and a 1:2 ratio for underwater work. The Romans first used hydraulic concrete in coastal underwater structures, probably in the harbours around Baiae before the end of the 2nd century BC

But the side of my head and my ribs can tell you modern concrete is pretty darn hard

I don't know how to translate italian into English concrete terms but Riddle solved: Why was Roman concrete so durable? is what I was thinking of.
