The wheel came first, with its invention dating back to around 3500 BC in Mesopotamia. Initially used for pottery making, the wheel later evolved for use in transportation. The roller, which is essentially a cylindrical object used to facilitate movement, likely developed later as a simpler means of moving heavy objects, but it did not predate the wheel itself.
