I think you have confused advance anything with invent anything. That's the common claim about the roman empire. In fact the Romans advanced an incredible amount of stuff. They were also masters of using others inventions. Hell, a citizen of the Roman empire invented a form of steam engine 2000 years before anything else similar would be made again.

Some amazing stuff Rome, and amazing history.
