I'll just make a huge fireball spell.
Actually, the time where TES takes place in is debatable.
In Roman time, they did not have advanced architecture as the Imperials did, even though the Imperials are an allusion to them. You also have thqt fact that machinery exists and is apparently used. (The basement of the Blackwood Company Hall has some)
You also have the advanced observatories in Hammerfell, the finer craftsmanship any people at Roman time could ever achieve.
Also, books were not as widely used as they were in Roman times.
In fact, no clear resemblance of
any time period at all.
At the time of a supreme ruling powers like monarchies ruled the known world, many were illiterate. In Oblivion, there are books in almost every household.
At the time of 1600-1800 where books were in common distribution and read, but there was things like slavery steam engines, and guns. In Oblivion, no remark to any firearm or steam, at that, are made. You also have an abolished slave trade, whereas in our world did not officially end until the mid-19th century.
From 1800-1900, more republics where being formed, and you had more of a scientific outlook on things than dragons and vampires. In Oblivion, lore is abundant.
So it is safe to say, Oblivion's relative time can not be connected, or compared, to our time, as it is a hodgepodge of times, ideas, and faiths.
But any way he/she is just answering a "question" so get if his/her back.
