what era are we talking about here? a well-disciplined medieval euro force would wreck a Roman Legion. discipline and tech were what the legion had. they were armed with little weak ass short bows and short range javelins. their cavalry was also notoriously garbo, pre-stirrup, and so high tech Euro heavy cavalry would crush any mobility their forces had and leave them a big ole fat useless lump of sweaty swearing Italians. any post-crossbow or longbow Euro force with discipline outclasses a legion bigly.

obviously the legion was dominant fer its day tho, thats just a trueism .

for instance this man^^^, if he's part of a well-organized force, has a 600 year tech advantage over the Roman Legion (note the stirrups) and would see it dunked

Stirrups were invented by the Arabs. Sorry to rain on your parade.

I believe the Chinese actually invented them.

The picture of the Normans is probably from 900 - 1066.

Right around when stirrups were widely used in Europe. They were used in France about 100 years before the English though, which would probably mean that Normans (from Northern France) had them before Saxons/Celts.

So they probably were considered state of the art compared to their enemies.

The Arabs actually invented nothing. They took credit for persian and Greek inventions.

The stirrup was invented by Asians, either Chinese or nomads in “Chinese” territory. Seek Christ and Herodotus

Arabs sole accomplishments are Jenna Dewan and Salma Hayek. They have nothing else going for them besides Lebanese women
