The correct features used in Roman buildings are:
- They have domes on circular rooms.
- They have rounded arches, barrel vaults, and cross-barrel vaults.
While Roman buildings were influenced by Greek architecture (which included columns, pediments, and friezes), the question is specifically asking about features characteristic of Roman buildings rather than Greek ones. The use of steel rods is not a feature of Roman architecture, as this material became prominent much later in construction history.
