A/N: This one took a little longer than expected due to school returning. But I hope you will enjoy this battle. It will be structured completely differently to my other battles. Here I will just give a small background on each culture and then give their advantages and disadvantages and from this we will draw the conclusion in who will win. Enjoy.

A small background on the Roman Legions under Julius Caesar:

This is most likely when the Romans were at their best and most deadly. Under Julius Caesar's genius tactical mind they not only conquered Italy but also conquered most of Europe, England and North Africa. When Caesar was assassinated, the Romans continued their conquest to the Middle East. But never truly reached the same heights as Caesar. Caesar was easily the most successful ruler in Roman history.

A small background on Genghis Kahn's Mongol hordes:

For centuries the Mongols were split into different clans, similar to Native Americans, but when needed followed a single 'Kahn'. Which meant king. But for the most part hunted, fought and traded amongst themselves. That changed when a young man named Temijin arrived, banded and united the Mongols together and become their 'Kahn'. With this he changed his name to Genghis Kahn and was the first to successfully unite all clans in Mongolia. He then used his new army to conquer most of Asia, a small part of Europe (up to modern day Hungary), and small parts of his army are speculated to have reached Alaska. The Mongol empire was the second biggest in history and was at its strongest under Genghis Kahn.

Roman advantages over Mongols:

The Romans are far more organised and better trained than the Mongols. The Mongols were just simple hunters, while the Romans are trained for war from a young age.

They had better defensive tactics. Although their offence was not to sneezed at, the tortoise shield technique, although created by Greeks, was mastered by the Romans. This made some sections of the army a near unstoppable force of death.

They have better artillery. The Romans have access to catapults and ballistas. This will give them a slight edge in this section.

Mongol advantages over Romans:

Their generals were promoted based on merit, not on wealth. The Mongol generals were ACTUALLY GOOD AT THEIR JOB! They didn't buy their way to that position, they had to earn it. Unlike the Romans. This means that the Mongols in an overall sense, would have the tactical advantage.

The Mongols had a cavalry. The Mongols were masters of cavalry based fighting, and although the Romans have fought this before, they never fought anyone on the same level as the Mongols.

The Mongols were VERY versatile. They fought enemies who had early forms of cannons and still won. They have fought in mountain sides, where their cavalry was useless... AND STILL WON!

They had better weapons. Their weapons were made for all forms of war, while Roman just had spears and gladius swords that mainly slashed, the Mongol weapons did all this and more. Not to mention they were made from a slightly harder metal.

Their archery... It is most likely the greatest in history.

Roman disadvantages:

The Roman generals were very egotistical. They wanted all the glory, which a lot of the time led to bone headed decisions. Even Caesar was guilty of this sometimes.

They would be outnumbered against the Mongols.

They had no real cavalry. Yes they had a sort of-cavalry, but they weren't especially trained.

A lot of the Roman army were captured, enemy soldiers. Forced to fight for the Romans. The Mongols had no slaves and actively freed them. So the slaves fighting for the Romans could defect.

Mongol disadvantages:

They weren't as organised as the Romans or as well trained.

They don't have artillery, which the Romans do.

Their horses could be easily killed on the battlefield.

They would have limited ammo for arrows.

Who would win?

Well it is my firm belief that in a full out war between these two sides... The winners would be... THE MONGOLS!

Why? Well, The Mongols have dealt with artillery quite easily before when they fought the Russians. They successfully invaded China, which had some of the best trained soldiers in history (let's not forget that China at that time was also HEAVILY fortified.) And let's not forget that their generals in a overall sense were superior to Roman generals. Would it be an easy victory? HELL NO! It would take everything that Genghis Kahn had to bring down Rome, but... He COULD do it.
