How is this thread 6 pages long?
One fully armed marine platoon and 2 helicopters would destroy half the Roman army.
If the entire US military had to only use weapons available in Roman days..then I think the discipline of the Roman army and their experience fighting that type of war would make them prevail.

then even if the U.S. were using rocks and sticks they'd win. A million trained soldiers vs 375k soldiers/slaves seems unfair.
Na, not with rocks and sticks.
The Legions often fought greater numbers, what pulled them through was their superior technology and battle strategies. 100 trained men in formation can easily take out 300 greasy haired Germanic savages while they're wildly running about and swinging a pitchfork.

yea but the 1.3 million active military members aren't greasy haired Germanic savages. They're trained members of the most well trained armed forces in the world (current). Plus you gotta think that several members of the U.S. forces have studied the strategies of the ancient roman generals.
Still, a 'stick and rock' in the hands of a Green Beret isn't going to do much against a Roman Legion.

Actually USA would still win:
1. They outnumber the romans.
2. Only use WEAPONS of roman times? Then they still have phones/computer so they can communicate several thousand times faster than the romans, which is a HUGE advantage.
3. USA Soldiers are well trained. Roman Legionarries are too, but a lot of the army are conscripts and peasants, whom aren't that well trained.
4. USA knows all about the Romans and their tactics. The Romans know nothing about the USA.
5. The USA still has a much better economy, even in this crisis (or maybe not, IDK)
6. USA has better medical knoledge, more soldiers died of disease than war in those times.

Hell, would the Romans ever understand the highly advanced technology that is used by the US military? Or how a friggin machine gun works? Or what a Jet is and how it works?
Of course not! Here's a question:
If you somehow took a cell phone into the past, which of the following would understand that it's technology and not magic?:
Stone Age
Classical
Medieval
Renaissance
Enlightenment
WW1/2
I'd say the last 2, maybe last 3.

That would have been epic, who knows, maybe they will do some repeats, if they get another season and run out of new warriors.
For their computer simulation, do they factor in skill? And how accurate is it anyway?
In order to test it's accuracy, they should do a battle like "US Marine vs Knight" and see who wins. If the Marine loses, then they know that something's wrong.
