Great battle. I think the Roman Centurion is going to win. The Roman Pilum was designed to crumple at the end when thrown at an enemy, so that it could not be thrown back at him once he used it. Also, it meant that if he threw it and it got lodged in an enemy's shield, the shield would have to be thrown away because there was a spear sticking out of it. The Gladius is also a very effective weapon in close combat, though it is really just a thrusting weapon. I would place the Athenian in a close second place.
