For structural mortars, he recommended pozzolana. Vitruvius specifies a ratio of 1 part lime to 3 parts pozzolana for cement used in buildings and a 1:2 ratio of lime to pozzolana for underwater work. The use of only pozzolana in the mix (without sand) is partially due to the economics and simplicity – pozzolana was easily available and cheap.
