They make me sick too.
So we have heard about a lot of the Han equipment, what of the Romans? How will the Han formation fare against pilums thrown at them, possibly killing many? (since they wear scale armor, and assuming the Romans could get close enough to use their pilums) How about siegecraft, How will Chinese cities fare against Roman sieges and Roman cities fare against a Chinese army? I think the Chinese would have an advantage in siegecraft, I*m not sure if mongonels were invented at this time, but to my knowledge Chinese architects built siege engines very suitable and powerful for siegecraft.
武士刀我也不喜欢。
我们已经讨论了一大堆汉朝的装备了，说说罗马的怎么样？当汉朝的军阵面对罗马特制标枪的攻击时会发生什么？（假设他们身穿鳞甲且已经进入标枪的射程）。双方各自的城墙能否承受住对方攻城器的进攻？我知道汉朝在攻城器械方面有优势，我不知道当时有没有投石车，不过汉朝设计的攻城器械确实好用。

I thought the katana and wakibasih were Japanese. Why are we talking about them? The katana is supposed to have a molecular blade, and both Japanese swords are made with highly advance metallugury skills. The Japanese learned their metallgury skills from the Chinese, who also made very good swords, just in different styles and designs. Europe didnt* have metallgury technology until long after the Chinese started using it.
我想武士刀既然是从日本来的，我们为什么要讨论他们？武士刀就像光剑一样锋利，所有的日本刀都采用先进的萃取技术冶炼而成。当然，这个技术是从中国学习来的。中国人造的剑同样出色，只不过2者的造型设计不同罢了。直到中国掌握萃取技术很久之后欧洲才学会它。

I think Chinese siege weapons are better. Roman balistas cannot destroy Chinese walls (If you see how think Chinese walls are).
Pilums, I heard they are very good. But how can they be strong when people use arms to throw spears?
中国的攻城器械更好，罗马的弹射装置奈何不了中国的城墙（只要你见过中国的城墙有多厚就明白了）。
特制标枪，听说很好用，但是都是靠胳膊投掷出去的，又能强多少呢？

短的长刀？多了解了解日本武士刀吧。
长的叫“Katana”，短的叫“Wakisashi”，可不是什么短的长刀。
另外，武士刀让我恶心。
武士刀碰上欧洲双手剑，武士刀完败，巅峰时刻！

Katana is for fighting in 2 hands when encounters an enemy. Good for slash and chop, and well, stabbing.
Wakizashi or Wakisashi is good when you need your other hand to wield a weapon, Wakizashi is used when enemies is very near you. Better than Katana when stabbing.
Katana and Wakizashi in a Han Chinese versus Roman section???
在遭遇到敌人的时候武士长刀是双手持的，能劈能砍，穿刺能力也不错。
当你的一只手已经装备了武器，武士短刀是一个好的选择，尤其在近身的情况下，穿刺能力优于长刀。

Now on to weapons of the Roman legions.
My personal favourite melee weapon, the Roman Gladius. It is a short sword designed to be used as a stabbing weapon during close combat. Roman legionnaires can safely launch their attack behind their large rectangular shields. Stabbing weapons have been proven to be more effective in combat that slashing or crushing ones. However, the downside is its length.
Despite the impression of many, Roman ballista does not actually fire bolts but rather stones. Crafted out of wood, ropes and animal sinew, it fires a stone the size of a human fist to a distance of 600 feet. These can be found at nearly all ancient roman forts and strongholds, however, there are very few instances where they were carried to field battles on record.
下面是罗马军团的武器。
我个人最爱的近战武器：罗马短剑。短是为了方便在近战中刺伤对方。罗马人可以躲在巨型方盾后安全的攻击，对于他们来说刺杀型武器在肉搏在中应该比砍杀型武器和碾压型武器更有效，当然了，太短了也不好。
印象当中，罗马的弩炮更多的是投掷石块而不是燃烧的弩箭，用木材、绳子和动物肌腱制作而成的罗马弩炮如果投掷一个拳头大小的石块，射程可达600英尺。这很多古罗马防御要塞都有发现。然而，没有什么例子能证明在野外阵地作战的时候罗马人也会使用弩炮。
