Iron age was 1200 - 550 BC, Ötzi lived ~3200 BC, which actually puts him in the chalcolithic/copper age (he even had a copper axe) or maybe early bronze age. So we were both wrong!
Most of the Roman history that’s talked about here wasn’t part of the iron age, either (depending on who you ask)! Antiquity is its own period, and its historic (people were writing historic accounts, inscriptions etc.) in contrast to the prehistoric (in most parts of Europe, though not the Near East) iron age.
