Here is my vote

Long range: sling vs composite bow The sling does have the advantage of being literally infinite in ammunition, but that's it. The composite bow trumps everything else, range, accuracy, damage, you name it. EDGE: composite bow

Medium range: soliferrum vs spear I will give this to the soliferrum. Like you said, the soliferrum is carried in groups of 4 or 5, much more than a spear. EDGE: soliferrum

Close range: falcata vs acinaces I'm giving this to the falcata. The reason being the falcata is longer than the acinaces, the longer reach always matter when trying to keep your opponent at bay. EDGE: falcata

Special: elephant vs chariot scyth I am giving this to the elephant. A chariot scyth is on the side of a chariot, and an elephant will charge head on, rendering it useless. EDGE: elephant

Armor: Carthagian armor vs Persian armor I am calling this even. The wicker shield the Persians have and the carthagians bronze helmet will give them an advantage in there own ways. Also the breast plates are pretty much the same. EDGE: even

X-factors

Carthagian warrior: metallugy and tactics

Persian immortal: skill

Winner: Carthagian warrior I got to give this to the Carthagian warrior. He just has better weapons and 1 more x-factor than the Persian immortal, which is the reason why he will win.
