Iron Age
Enter an age of iron tools, carved laws, sacred games, early alphabets, restless republics, and city-states discovering how power could be argued.
1200 BCE - 501 BCE
The Iron Age follows new materials, alphabets, laws, and political forms as more societies make power public, portable, and repeatable.
Look for achievements in sacred architecture, writing, urban planning, and statecraft: Olympia's sanctuary, the Dipylon inscription, Pasargadae, and early republican Rome all show institutions taking shape.
The route also follows Assyrian militarization, Phoenician trade, Greek colonization, Etruscan burial culture, Roman law, and republican institutions as local communities hardened into kingdoms, city-states, and republics.
