It was used to make fireworks.
Ancient Romans did not use gunpowder. Gunpowder was invented by China around the middle ages.
I'm guessing you mean why it was not used for defense or weaponary. The answer is that the Chinese did not find a weaponary use for gunpowder, they used it mainly for fireworks. The Europeans were the first to use gunpowder for weapons.

Gunpowder was INVENTED in China- we think. Nearly 1000 years ago, so records are spotty at best.yes gunpowder originated in china.
The first documented note of gunpowder was in China, in around 142 A.D.
China made Gunpowder in 1000 A.D. They actually made it by accident.
The Chinese invented gunpowder, and fireworks was their first use for gunpowder. The Chinese have been connected with the idea of fireworks ever since.
When you have the barrel of gunpowder from the Great Wall of China (1593 AD), you can just click on the rocks at the cave (831 AD) and they will be blasted away.(There is no USE on the gunpowder.)

China discovered Gunpowder (aka Black powder).
No, the Chinese used gunpowder before the Mongols did. So did the Jurchens, who conquered northern China in the early 1100s. The Mongols undoubtedly acquired knowledge of gunpowder weapons from the Jurchens and the Chinese.
