Sparten what is your point?
Roman empire wasnt big as Monogol empire.
First England isnt cold as Ukraina or Russia that is fact.
Romans favor central europian climate and mediteran climate.
Monogol army in Palestina was very small that is major reason for defeat, number is important.Also they never get reinforcement because of death of Kan.
On cultural and historical level Romans are far in front of any other civilization for Europians and Americans.
If you ask Chinese, Indians and people of Middlle East they will tell you than Monogols affect them more than Romans. For Muslimans Monogols did great job they spread Islam (India especially).
I am Europian so Romans are major civilization for me.
But we are talking about millitary ability of both empires. Just look East Roman empire it never change tactics.
All mighty Europian empires of Dark Age use Heavy cavalry,archers and infantry as backbone of army, no one use light horse archers.So empires which are successors of Romans use slow moving army for concept of close combat warefare.
After Huns no one didnt introduce fast horse army, on the contrary
they slow more army with heavier armor and heavier weapons.
There is big reason for that, if you want full horse army you need large number of horses which no nomadic civilizations didnt had, also you need exelent horse riders which Europians arent.
About battle between Romans and Germans versus Huns we have only Roman report, so it is natural to show your army as brave and German barbarians as cowards(remeber Eglish report of turkish army in Crimean war), but it was plan tactic to cut of one flank of Hun army by loosen German flank, so Hun flank push them and then part of Roman central line cut them, it was Hannibal tactic which all later Roman generals favor.
Fact is that if Romans didnt have help of Germans they would lost battle.
Conclusion to fight Monogols you need same army as monogols had.
