I only know of one city called Troy and that was the Troy of the Iliad. The Romans never invaded that Troy, in fact they didn't even exist as a people at the time. The founder of Rome, Aeneas, according to Virgil, was supposed to be a refugee from Troy. We don't specifically know what language the Trojans spoke, but it was more than likely Greek or some dialect of Greek.
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.In a way you could say that Marius invented the Roman pilum.

First of all a man had to have a good basic education and if he were adept at math and/or logic, he would learn the basics of his trade, as most Romans did, by being an apprentice to a master of whatever craft he wanted. He would most likely join a guild and be considered for jobs through the guild. (Just about all Roman professions from flute players to funeral directors had guilds)
