So ok cousin:

Short: Speaking in short range the gladius versatility and shield combo will give it the edge over the tachi. Yeah the tachi is nice but it two handed design will be his downfall, sharpness doesn't matter since both are wearing armor. Edge: Roman

Mid: The pilum has more range and will keep the monk at bay, plus it has armor piercing point which will be effective against the monks armor, the naginata is close range weapon. Edge Roman

Long: Longbows beat composite bows, ez pz edge for the Japanese: Edge Sohei

Special: Don't bring tools to fight!: Edge even

Verdict: Roman's superior tactics and armor, and weapons will give him the win.
