Well ballistae and catapultae are all reconstructed with ratcheted gears- and I believe those are based on Greek finds, so metal toothed gears seem to be quite old. I believe grain was always ground in horizontal rotary mill stones- but it has been mentioned that some form(s) of rolling mill were used for making olive oil at the time
