The Roman Empire spanned two millenia(incl. the Eastern Roman Empire).
The Mongols reigned from 1206 AD to the 1350s. But it is also a fact that in that time they created the largest empire.
Romans usually had to fight wars against the invading armies of the various Barbarians, but in the case of Mongols, there was no empire or barbarians their to attack them.
The Cavalry Archers Mongols used were successful because the heavily armoured cavalry & infantry of Europe broke ranks to pursue the Archers.
Lightly armoured Mongol archers would be crushed against discplined Roman Infantry. Not to forget that Roman Infantry would be supported by seige, archers of their own and heavy cavalry, which would make it very difficult for the Mongols.
