Well, not all Roman inventions, but here’s a list from 100AD-550AD:

128 Apartment Blocks Rome
140 Reconstructive Surgery Sicily
248 Zoo Rome (I’m not sure if that’s an invention but maybe the concept is.
275 Algebra by Diophantus
300 Oil Street Lighting in Antioch
300 Gas Street Lighting in Caesarea
361 Licensing of Doctors in Constantinople
370 Paddle Wheel Ships (anonymous - de Rebus Bellicis)
400 Astrolabe in Alexandria
400 Hydrometer made of brass for weather prediction by Hypatia in Alexandria
400 Butter introduced by the Vandals
