I know in popular 'History' these things are said to be Roman, but that is only that it is used as a shorthand for meaning the Mediterranean and southern European area, If you delve into all these so called inventions you will find they are invented in areas before they came under Roman control.Could you please provide some links to back this up?
The centralist Roman state have very little ability to pass knowledge along. Look at the Arts the sophistication of late Greek sculpture, and then the inevitable downward spiral of Roman art. Where sculptors produced nothing new just endless copies of Greek originals at best.
Think about the heights of Greek philosophy the Romans took, and the abject poverty of christian dogma they passed on.
Decline,decline,decline.
