I'm fairly certain there are examples of fictional ancient civilisations developing advanced technology on their own. Perhaps they were capable of doing so because they were simply smarter than the Knuckles Clan, maybe they had the resources to do so, could be a bit of both. While it may be true that the Romans did not have robots fighting for them, they did have superior weaponry and armour among things, wasn't enough to ensure an easy victory though. Besides, in Sonic Chronicles you can defeat the Gizoids with good ol'fashioned fisticuffs, and those ones are presumably more adavnced than the original models.
