Has anybody got ideas for 'Civilization Advances' (i.e., technologies) to help me flesh out the Late Classical Period of the first era of my personal mod? Say, roughly, from 0 A.D. to 450 A.D. or thereabouts. From Augustus to Constantine in Rome, say? Something like that.
All I've got so far is:
Surely more noteworthy things happened during this period of time that would justify inclusion into an epic-scale mod. I don't mind Eurocentric techs, but ones that aren't are at least equally as desireable. Even Afrocentric or Asiocentric stuff would be interesting. It's just that I can't think of anything, and nothing jumps to mind after perusing all my historical atlases and history sites galore.
A few further ideas might be:
And that's pretty much all I've got. So if any of you have any tips, I'm all ears!
All I've got so far is:
Architecture (Augustus turning Rome into a city of marble instead of wood)
Public Spectacles (Circus Maximus, Colosseum, etc.)
Axial Creeds (Edict of Milan, Buddhism spreads to China, Confucianism under the Han)
Migrations (here come the Goths!)

A few further ideas might be:
Paper (invented in China around 100 A.D.)
Civil Engineering (Roman aqueducts, sewer systems?) -- a lot like my "Architecture" tech, though, which maybe ought to be relocated...
The Stirrup (Huns etc.)
Military Discipline or Logistics? (Imperial Legionaries???)
