I’m wonder if Roman structures used any rebar or something similar?

Nope. That seems to be one of the reasons why they are so sturdy. Nothing susceptible to rusting inside.

Some Roman concrete piers have actually hardened further through the constant action of the waves, so they are now harder than they were in antiquity.
