The point of my OP was to foster education through communication. With crude printing, Romans can typeset plates that can press wax tablets much faster than a scribe can press a stylus, letter by letter.
With a POD of the early second century, you have two generations of relative stability forthcoming. Certainly the leaders and the military will recognize the benefit of being able to spread information faster.
Your traditional stone carvers and craftsmen preserved names and familiar proclamations in writing. A new profession of typesetters would handle an ever-changing influx of ideas written by a new, growing group of literate people.
The wealthy did accumulate knowledge for status. The not-so-wealthy, being closer to hands-on labor, might use knowledge to invent. By taking one small aspect of the Renaissance and transplanting it some 13 centuries earlier, the goal is to create that dividend for the support of education.
