TL 3 Metal. Iron working, engineering, road networks. Hardest tech: iron smelting at ~1500 C, Roman concrete, aqueducts. Same TL as Bronze Age, since iron is harder to smelt but same fundamental metalworking principle.

Many towns and cities in populated parts of the world but still hunter gatherers. Basically Han China and the Romans plus many regional Bronze Age powers.
