Hello, are we forgetting who invented gunpowder? Aside for the fact that Chineese army was about 20-30 times bigger then the Roman, this alone would have swayed the odds in their favour.

Persian army was on top while it was led by a master strategist Cyr, after his death it lost to Greeks who were outnumbered 5:1.

romans are the best. numbers dont matter. the chinese army was not taht strong for the most part although there were times when it was very powerful.

the chinese invented gun powder, yes, but they never used it for war purposes.

romans were definetly the best, followed by greek, persian, chinese, and then egyptian.

Who wrote "The art of war"? Who defeated the Huns with their own weapon, light cavalry? Hint: NOT Romans.

that is true, but still, the romans were unparalleled.

Romans had an excellent training routine and discipline, but in everything else they were inferior to China.
