The Xiongnu Empire was the first major nomadic superpower, dominating the eastern Eurasian Steppe from the 3rd century BCE through the late 1st century AD.

A Roman glass vessel (pictured above) was buried in a tomb in Eastern Mongolia, most probably dating from the Xiongnu Empire. 
 

This find helps support the belief that trade and cultural ties (either direct or indirect) existed between the Roman Empire and distant empires.
