Let's see shall we

Close Range

There's not a whole lot to say here, the Celtic Longsword is longer and heavier than the Spatha so it wins.

Edge: Boudica

Mid Range

The Kontos is a cavalry weapon and a very specialist cavalry weapon at that and in what I can only presume is a infantry battle it won't be very effective. The Lancea is shorter but this works to it's advantage because once you get past the tip of the Kontos it becomes virtually useless as a weapon. That might seem in complete contradiction to what I just said in the above edge but there's two key difference here. One is that, unlike swords, a spear has a short killing surface as a proportion of the weapon which essenitally means that once you've passed the tip it's basically redundant as a weapon. Secondly a weapon (or any object for that matter) that is 12 feet in length is incredibly difficult to wield with any finesse or speed and will make it easy to dodge if being used as a slashing weapon and difficult to use as a stabbing weapon. The Lancea can also be used as a projectil weapon which always helps.

Edge: Boudica

Long Range

Just like in short range not much to say here. A bow has a further range, greater accuracy and can actually be used more than once.

Edge: Flavius Belisarius
