In a way you could say that Marius invented the Roman pilum. A pilum was a heavy javelin that more than likely morphed from the old Hoplite spear. Marius invented a type of javelin with a flexible shaft that would bend or break off once it hit the enemies' shield. This prevented the enemy from reusing the javelin against the Romans and if it stuck at an angle in their shields, it would hinder them in their froward rushes.

the javelin was called a pilum, but it could hardly be called a spear, it had adapted to the role of being thrown so much that it would be useless to stab with.
Roman soldiers were issued three weapons: the gladius, a short double edged sword, two pilum (wood shafted javelins with a steel shaft at the front), and the pugio, a short dagger. Any of the three could be considered primary weapons.
My teacher said that he invented the calendar. He used his name Julius as July and Octiavan as October and Augustus as August. He sounded pretty clever didn't he! Well I hope my answer helps!!!
An empire is not a person. Therefore, the Roman Empire did not invent anything. The Romans invented concrete. Roman concrete was different from modern concrete. It was more fluid and had to be layered by hand. It was just as strong.
Football was invented about 1600 years after the Roman Empire collapsed so they wouldn't have a word for it.
