In the cliche thread, Othniel mentioned a civlization forming in Belgium. That got me thinking.
Hay basically allowed civilization to really expand in northern regions, where grass to feed animals couldn't grow in the winter. Nobody in the Roman Empire heard of it, but it was common by the middle ages. So, what if someone came up with the idea in ancient times?
Just off the top of my head, the various celtic tribes would be better off, so Gaul and Brittania could easily stay independent.
