So, assuming the Hellenistic Age doesn't end (at one extreme it could be no roman empire conquering the hellenistic states and thier continued surviival, at the other extreme it could just be Ptolemaic Egypt remains an independent satelite state of Rome as it had been), how does technology and knowledge advance? There were great advancements in knowledge and technology during the Hellenistic age, specifically in Alexandria, and of course, with Archimedes. It could be said that they were undergoing their own mini scientific revolution really.
Anyway, so how could a continuing hellenistic age effect technology and knowledge in general? How much more advanced could it feasibly become in the next few centuries?
