Conglomerate

A stone employed in construction; rounded rock fragments and particles that have been compacted and naturally cemented, forming a single mass. Often mistakenly referred to as breccia; in breccia the fragments that are cemented together are angular as opposed to rounded.

Paus. 5.10.2, Paus. 6.19.1
