Undead RVD's "Not as crazy as Caligula but still crazy" Edges:

Close Range: The Khopesh will serve useful in disarming the enemy. It also has more reach. However, the Gladius is stronger. Will say these two weapons are even.
 * EDGE: Even

Mid Range: The Romans are packing one type of spear but Ramesses is packing TWO. They have the Javelins and their normal spears. Overall, Two mid range weapons are better than one
 * EDGE: Ramesses

Long Range:The Romans are pitiful at archery. That is why they used pilum javelins and scorpion crossbows. The Egyptians, on the other hand, were masters of archery, horseback and more.
 * EDGE: Ramesses

Special: The Plumbata is not very arrow-dynamic. I don't think it is going to hit much. The Mace, on the other hand, will hit and kill.
 * EDGE: Ramesses

Overall: If the Romans were using the lorica segmentata, I would go with them in this match. However, they are using the lorica squamata and in truth, Scale Mail is not very good at protecting against piercing attacks, and Ramesses has LOTS of that. I think he might be able to scrap the victory do to his Javelin and superior bowman skills. Caesar doesn't have enough forces to create a proper formation, so his best tactic is not in his hands. This might be a big factor in the long run.
 * VOTE: RAMESSES
