What resources would be depleted during a "Medieval Stasis"?

Many fantasy worlds use a "Medieval Stasis"trope. What resources could we expect to become depleted during a stasis? Surely, since technology is stagnant, the people would mine all the materials they could reach and exploit whatever they could. Smelting and recycling isn't a perfect process with medieval technology. There is often wasted/ruined material.

What resources can we expect will be depleted and on what timescales? Let's base this off of a 200AD Roman Empire for our technology basis.
