Without gun powder and greek fire...
 
Question:
1. Who wins the Ancient Roman Empire or the Byzantine Empire?
2. Could the ancient Roman legionniers breach the walls of Constantinople with their siege engines?
 
Out of topic:
 
Does democracy exist in the Byzantine Empire????????

The Byzantines, Theodosius' cavalry rode the western roman infantry into the ground and the byzantines had trebuchets. And the byzantines called themselves romans (Just thought you'd want to know).

Yea, we are talking about a long difference of time and technology, Romans won battles because their early enemies were disorganized and lacked discipline. and by what period of ancient Rome are you talking about pre-marian or post marian reforms? either way, they would be beaten soundly by any Byzantine army.
