Lets see here....

Hannibal vs Macbeth
Short-The Hammer is a deadly weapon, but the Falcata is more practical. The Hammer would get stuck in Hannibal's shield which would give Hannibal a moment to stab the now vulnerable Macbeth. Edge Hannibal

Medium-The Sarissa is a bit longer, but is more of a formations weapon. It loses a lot of effectiveness without people to back you up. Hannibal has back up but they aren't Carthaginians with Sarissas, they are a variety of slaves/barbarians. The Claymore doesn't rely on formations and is able to do severe damage to Musculata's helmet. Edge Macbeth

Winner-Hannibal. He has a shield and Macbeth doesn't. He's also more experienced and swinging around the long, heavy Claymore is going to make Macbeth tired out.

Spartacus vs Othello
Short-Eh, all I know about the dagger is that it's...a dagger. The Pugio is also a dagger. Edge even

Medium-The scimiter is able to inflict a far deadlier cutting wound than the Sica. Edge Othello

Winner-Othello due to having armor and a better medium ranged weapon.

Vecingetorix vs Tybalt
Short-The Main Gauche is a good weapon alongside the Rapier, but if Tybalt loses the Rapier he will be out matched by the deadlier Saex knife. Edge Vecingetorix

Medium-The Longsword can slash and stab effectively. The Rapier is going to be good only when slashing at the head/throat. The Longsword also has a thicker blade, making it not snap as easy as the Rapier. Edge Vecingetorix

Winner-Vecingetorix. Better weaponry, experience, and armor.

Hamlet vs Alaric
Short-The Poniard is longer. Edge Hamlet

Medium-The throwing axe has the range advantage but the targe counters that well. The Partisan can go through a wooden shield easy. Edge Hamlet

Winner-Hamlet. Better weapons, shield, and armor.

Duke vs Attila
Short-The Sword of Mars is going to have more trouble with chainmail than the Falchion with leather. Edge Duke

Long-Attila and the Huns were master archers, and his bow is more maneuverable. Edge Attila

Winner-Duke. He has better armor and once he closes in with his Falchion Attila is done for.

Overall winners
Shakespeare's Warriors. Hannibal is a great taction and Vecingetorix was a successful warrior, but Duke can rain arrows down on them whilst Duke and Othello close in and finish them off. Hannibal has bronze armor which will be damaged from the Claymore and Vecingetorix wont last that long by himself.
