Concrete, Aqueducts, Baths, Central Heating, Roads, and they DIDN'T invent arches in buildings, though they were the first to use them.

The Romans invented the central heating system. It is still used by us. The central heating system supplies warmth to the interior section of a building. It controls the temperature inside a building. The central heating system may be referred to as HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning). Central heating differs from local heating in the sense that in case of local heating, the heat is generally concentrated in one place, for example, a furnace room in the house or the mechanical room in a multi-storeyed building. The most common way to create heat is by the combustion of fossil fuel in a furnace or a boiler. The heat produced is then passed around through the ductwork by water circulating through pipes or by steam fed through by pipes.

The Roman built roads, military subscription indoor plumbing, sanitation and elected government. They also improved on previous weaponry and tactics, advancing the art of war to a whole new, efficient level.

Most of the roman inventions were actually invented by the Etruscan's. So technicality the Romans got all the credit.
The Etruscan's invented stone arches, roads, and sewage.
And without these inventions Rome would still have uncovered raw sewage and unpaved roads.
The Romans invented candles that you can eat, scissors, magnified glasses, the postal system, showers, and bikinis.

They usually are given credit for the first well-builts roads, some still in use (So they say-have not been there).  Also, water distribution systems and wastewater systems but I'm not sure if they were the absolute first for any of these items.
