Green Building Materials What kind of stone did the Romans use for building is desert areas?

Question by PatCS: What kind of stone did the Romans use for building is desert areas?
I’m building a model of a Romanesque city in a desert climate. I would like to know what kind of stone the Romans used for building in these areas so that I can decide what color to paint the stonework on the buildings. I know they used marble in the European areas, but I’m not sure if this kind of stone would have been so prevalent in the Middle East and in North Africa.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know they were big on either limestone or marble, but also, the Romans invented cement.
