HarbingersOfNEVEC's "this aint rajput vs. centurion for sure" Edges

Sidearm: Pugio vs. Long Seax

The pugio is shorter and can only stab, the Long Seax is longer, double-edged, meaning it can slash and stab giving it more options and speed over the pugio, edge Hersir

Primary Weapon: Gladius vs. Viking Sword

Both are effective weapons, except only one has another range over the other, the gladius and scutum is a legendary combination. Having said that the viking sword is famed for its metallurgy, and lethality, edge Hersir

Mid Range: Pilum vs. Viking Sword

The Pilum can disable shields and deals greater damage than the viking spear when thrown, the viking spear is more effective up close, edge even.

Long Range: Plumbata vs. Throwing Axe

I like the idea behind the plumbata being used in a volley fire, but the simplicity and easier to master throwing axe can outrange it and has more accuracy, edge Hersir

Shield: Scutum vs. Viking Shield

They both serve their own purposes, both can be used as offensive and defensive weapons. Though the scutum is more defensive and the Viking shield is more offensive, edge even

Armor: Galea/Lorica Segmentata & Leather Helm/Lorica Hamata vs. Conical Helmet/Ringmail Coat & Leather Helm/Mail with Quilted Gambeson

These two sets of armor are so much a like, both providing great protection, I give a sight edge to the centurion because of their larger shield and segmentata, edge Centurion

Formation: Testudo vs. Svinfylking

The testudo is what made Rome the super power it was, and helped it counter and conquer warriors similar to the vikings and their svinfylking, edge Centurion

Overall Winner: Roman Centurion, the weapons are leaning towards the hersir. And they were both evened out in the x-factors. There is one defining factor about this match, it'll be army on army, So the Centurion, his legion, armor and formation could easily defeat their viking opponents, the Hersir superior weapons and advantages in the x-factors would give the Centurion a hard fight. However, at the end of the day, the Roman Centurion is the deadliest warrior.
