Rome vs Japan

[Tiberius Geracius]

I am just talking infantry vs. infantry. It would be unfair to inclued muskets into this equation. Also keep another thing in mind samurai can be equated to the europian knights. Though the Samurai didnt always wear the same armor there were standards i might say that every samurai world carry. Marcus shows us a great example of an armor set, but historically not all samurai would carry the same style and quality of armor. The legion on the other hand in the 1st and 2nd century had a standardized armor set. Also Romans werent horse men the Auxillaries were. They also had archers again auxillaries and thats not all if you cat now we can throw in bolt shooters and stone throughers aswell. LOL

All I have to say is this Rome took over most of Europe, Northern Africa, and Parts of the Middle East. So their army had to be doing something right.
