My vote

You will probaly not count this but I told you I would so I will

Close  Range

While the Kantanna is made out of a better metal the gladius is lighter easier to conceal and to fit inside of weak points in the Samurais armor

Edge Samurai

Mid range

The Nanjitas superior metal and longer reach will be able to to give it a win here

Long Range

While the spear can be used without arrows/the bow The bow has a longer range and is more accurate.

Special

The Centurion gets it here his weapon weighs less and has a blade

Armour

I would give this to the Roman because Samurais did not encounter shields that often while for a Roman it was his main defense

X-factors

Training

40 - 80

The samurai has been training since he was a young child while the Centurions have been training since they joined the army

Tactics

80 - 60

The Romans are still renowned for their tactics while the Samurai mainly charged at the enemy

Deadliest Warrior

Samurai - In the end his better one on one skills should be able to stomp the Romans mostly focused on teamwork even in 5 v 5 the Romans lack the amount of troops to make a good formation
