The charred bread residue was found in a stone fireplace at an archeological site there.

What I'm saying is you need 1 person with the skills of a grand architect to lead the project, a few hundred people with significant engineering chops, and a lot of grunts. Since the Flynn Effect deals with averages, the Romans had enough smart people to make that work. Sure, the Roman engineers did a great job of it, since a lot of their stuff is still there, but it's not like the ancient Romans were a society of geniuses or anything of the sort. Mostly, they were into the same sorts of things we're into: sex, violence, drugs, and their version of rock 'n' roll, in approximately that order.
