The adhesive was made from a mixture of bitumen, cattle fat and bark pitch.
Facetiously, wait till we find out the Romans were making an
adhesive that was made of "Buckyballs" (those 60-carbon spheres).
OK, it probably doesn't make "Buckyballs"...but I suspect research
on this old glue is the start of a number of PhD theses!

And they’ll be more useful than 99.99% of all Womyn’s Studies PhDs.

Well there would be a lot of carbon in the ingredients specified.
Romancrete is also quite strong, as strong or stronger than some modern forms of concrete.
