Thunderbolts from Jupiters ass.
Mongols had firearms. It was one of the keys to their success. They were defeated by the Egyptians who were one of the only other societies who also had gunpowder weapons. Best no firearm army is a toss up between the medieval French and the Byzantines. The French successfully repelled invasions of the Huns, Muslims and for the most part the Vikings. Byzantines defeated the Parthians and successfully repelled invasions of the Arabs and the Rus tribes. They were beaten by the Turks but that was only after being weakened by the Parthians, Arabs, and the Crusaders who sacked Constantinople.

- How much trade of knowledge had happened on that time, or they were separated like island`s like the history book`s describe?
The Roman administration is very influential even today, but there`s was a start point, it`s surprising even to read that those man were able to conduct such big army`s on different part`s of the land, and even with a ocean between them, and did all that without the communication apparel that we have today.
