《英白拉多：罗马》定义了 80 个科技，被划入四个科技领域（军事、民政、雄辩和宗教），每个又被分为 20 个科技等级。The 80 Technologies do not have individual names. Technology can be accessed though the 
Technology-button.
Each state automatically progresses from its starting level to next level, driven by the generated Research Points plus modifiers. The total amount of generated Research Points plus modifiers are distributed evenly among the four fields, except the modifier contributed by the character leading the research field, making it possible to advance at differences paces in each field! Purchased Inventions and access to certain trade-goods act as modifiers, i.e. they increase the speed of research.
Each technology-field can have one researcher assigned to it. The finesse of this character impacts the speed with which research is done in that field. This character gets prominence from holding the position, and gets permanent prominence from each month holding the position. Changing researcher increases loyalty in the new researcher, and dramatically drops it in the one being replaced.
The total amount of pops of a state, determines the cost of the next level of technology. As a result of that, it is not the total amount of Citizen-type pops, but rather their share of the total population, which determines the speed of research.
Each level gives the state a higher bonus in that category, unlocks three Inventions per category and reduces the cost of Inventions by 5%. Unlocked Inventions can be purchased for 100 
Civic Power Points each, but do not have to be purchased in order for the research to advance.
研究点
In 450 AUC, it takes a compact civilized nation about 7.5 years to research one level of technology, whereas for a country overextended by conquest this can be 15 years or more.
This calculation works as follows:
- Each Citizen at 100% output produces 0.25 Research Points per month, or 3 points per year. Citizens of your culture and religion in your capital city will contribute much more than that, while conquered unhappy citizens - much less.
- To achieve 100% research efficiency, the country has to produce the same amount of Research Points per year as its total population.
- Therefore if every Citizen is working at 100% output, and 1/3 of population is Citizens, the country will have 100% research efficiency.
- 100% research efficiency corresponds to researching 1 level of each tech in 15 years.
- A typical 10-skill researcher provides a +100% bonus, halving that time to 7.5 years.

While the advances are tied directly to your nation’s progress and are slowly gained through the years, there are also inventions around at game start, that you can spend civic power on to get immediately. The standard cost is 100 civic power, which can be influenced by technology and various other factors.
As your technology level progresses, different inventions will be added to the random pool that populates the inventions list. There are 3 inventions from each of the four areas available, assuming that there are at least 12 inventions, which are unlocked but not yet invented.

| 8 | Scorpio | Siege Engineers: +1 | A small, antipersonnel variant of the siege ballista, the scorpion was deployed to deadly effect during prolonged sieges. |
| 8 | Blacksmith Apprentices | Heavy Infantry Cost: -10% | With more hands at their disposal our blacksmiths are sure to be more effective than ever before. |
| 9 | Investment | Siege Ability: +5% | The process of surrounding a fortified location with secondary fortifications, served as a means of entirely dissociating them from the outside world. |

| 14 | Promotion Through Valor | Discipline: +5% | Promoting troops based on their actions provides every man a reason to perform the the best of their ability. |
| 14 | Entrenchment | Fort Defense: +5% | When our armies are deployed in one location for a significant period of time, they could better use their time by constructing trenches to slow the advance of potential enemies.. |

| 4 | Code of Rights | National Freeman Output: +2.5% | An established code, detailing the rights of every non-landowning member of our society, is likely to please the majority. |

| 7 | Slave Latifundia | Slaves needed for Surplus: -1 | The establishment of vast plantations, mines, or other specialized land dedicated to production, populated largely by slaves or working class persons, vastly improves the efficiency of our resource gathering. Such latifundia were often distributed after conquest, to entrepreneurial private citizens, commanders, and those willing to pay for them. |

| 12 | Regulated Money Lenders | National Commerce Income: +5% | The plight of the poor is rarely relieved by money lenders, but we must accept that they are a necessary evil. Instituting financial regulations, however, may at least let us profit from them. |
| 12 | Waste Disposal Infrastructure | National Citizen Output: +5% | Developed in eons past, the idea of a unified waste disposal architecture is still a lofty goal. Clean streets, and public bathhouses are sure to increase the quality of living. |
| 12 | Public Slavery | National Slave Output: +10% | Slaves owned by the state were championed by various regimes. In Rome, a servus publicus would perform one of a number of civic duties, ranging from basic servile tasks, to menial bureaucratic work. |
| 13 | Right to Religious Observance | National Tribesman Output: +5% | In most cases, the religion that any given tribe practices, is of no consequence to us. Therefore, giving them limited protection over the rights to practice exotic beliefs is a small price to pay for their security. |
| 13 | Water Pumps | National Freeman Output: +2.5% | In every major city, the dangers of fire are muttered about with bated breath. The installation of water pumps in key locations, allows the good men and women of our nation to combat these risks. |
| 13 | Prestigious Trade Goods | Create Trade Route Cost: -25% | Our merchants and traders have spent years building up a certain flare and some prestige around the goods being exported from our nation, and so more people would like the chance to grow closer and take part in our trade deals. |

| 14 | Use of State Land | National Tax: +5% | The Mauryan empire levied a land usage tax on territories it considered as crown land. Aggressive zoning of this land can be a significant money-making opportunity. |
| 14 | Embracing Philosophy | Research Points: +10% | The various schools of philosophy arising out of Greece, and further afield, combine mathematics, theology, cosmology, and much more, to create a distinct world view. The study, debate, and intellectual sparring between these schools of thought is likely to fuel advancement in any number of fields. |
| 15 | Gromatici | Build Roads Cost: -25% | 'Rod Men', as they were otherwise known, assisted the primary surveyor in assessing the straightness of roads. These civil engineers were experts in their field, and greatly improved the efficiency of road building. |
| 15 | Petition of Minorities | Wrong Culture Happiness: +5% | Allowing accepted minority leaders to submit petitions on behalf of their people, at least gives them the opportunity to make their grievances known. |
| 15 | Earned Manumission | National Slave Output: +10% | Granting the right for publicly owned slaves to earn their freedom, gives an incentive for slaves to be calm and productive throughout their working lives. |
