Alrighty lets do it

1. short range

The Khanda is a bigger, longer blade than the Gladius, and is made centuries after it, making it possible that its steel is stronger than that of the Gladius blade.

Yet the Scutum is a formidable obstacle, and Like Captain America's it can be used for ramming and striking attacks as well as a defense (though it could not be thrown, of course).

This is too much of an obstacle fot the Mughal to overcome.

EDGE: Roman Centurion

2. Mid range

The Hasta spear has superior range, but the Santie is solid steel, stronger than the iron head of the Hasta. And while the Santie can pierce steel armor, an iron head may prove useless against steel armor, and both combatants wear such protection.

After some thought, I give this to the Hasta, due to superior range

EDGE: Roman Centurion

3. Long range:

Both warriors sport composite bows, and there is not enough detail to see as to which is the better weapon (though it could be argued that, since the Mughals lived centuries after the Romans, that their bows would be more advanced technologically, hence the better weapon).

EDGE: Dead Even!

4. Special

The Katar is a savage weapon, but it lacks the length and weight of the Dolabra axe. The latter can even be thrown; its possible to throw a Katar, but it would not do well as a throwing weapon, obviously not designed for that

EDGE: Roman Centurion

After all of this I conclude that the Roman will attain a victory over the Mughal, due to weapons superiority, and the fact that the Roman has better experience as a combat soldier (as noted by Noob, see above).

ROMAN CENTURION CANS A MUGHAL!!!!!
