Hmmmnnn.....interesting. Seems the common stereotype of the Christian Middle Ages seems to apply more to pagan Greece and Rome.

Greek science virtually ceased to advance after 200 B.C.

At that time, they were conquered by the Roman empire. This held the process of Greek science, but, the center of scientific progress shifted to Rome.
In Rome, the emphasis was on war. For example, during the Roman wars with Persia, the technology of siege equipment became as advanced as it ever got.
