OP is a faggot

This isn't even a contest. 17th Century has better range in both melee and ranged combat, not to mention the average person and their horse was bigger, stronger and tougher. The Romans would run when the first canonshot tears a huge hole in their line.

depends on the range at which they are shooting with arquebuses and whether or not the scutum could withstand such shot

strange loud noises are not unique to firearm combat

No it doesn't

It couldn't

A gunshot is louder than anything in the premodern world.

Rome would be defeated.

If the 17th century army are spaniards like ones in the pic then 17th European army

Wouldn't Rome really have an edge?
Guns around that time were slow to load and the musketeers wouldn't stand a melee attack.
Plus the Romans could employ skirmishers with higher rate of fire than the musketeers.
The gun was pretty much adopted for training reasons not because it was a better weapon.
