Remember, these are still Romans. When met with the challenge of the Mongols, Turks, Persians and others, they improvised.
A legionaire would never be alone either, so it's kinda a moot point, but the byzantine knight could be so it's a more apt comparison.
Personally, I think the klibanarii beat the samurai, ounce for ounce.
