What if: a confrontation between the Roman imperial army of Trajan and a medieval European one, before the mass use of gun powder. (XV century, one or more armies of the hundred years war)
How would the Romans fare against the better technology and the shock tactics of the mounted knight?
On average, the roman soldier was better trained and lead than his medieval counterpart, but the later enjoyed the advantage of better armor, weapons, and a complete superiority in mounted warfare.
This has been discussed a lot on other forums, with no clear result, but my money would be on the romans, due to they're better logistics, numerical advantage, overall better equipment and training.
I look forward to any posts about this:)
