Most of the Roman history that's talked about here wasn't part of the iron age, either (depending on who you ask)! Antiquity is its own period, and its historic (people were writing historic accounts, inscriptions etc.) in contrast to the prehistoric (in most parts of Europe, though not the Near East) iron age.

yeah, calling rome "iron age" is kinda like calling us "industrial era"
