Who would win, Han Empire or Roman Empire?

Question

Both of these were in the same time period, so no excuses like "they were at different times," okay.

Answer 1

The Roman Empire would win as they were cunning and tough warriors and gladiators and of the colossium and their punishment for the criminal were unprecedented in their times of Crucifixion. The Romans had the ability to flush out strategic planning and lasted a time span of 1000 years. Alexander the Great lead his gigantic army through Asia beating the most bloodiest battle through out the nations of Europe and noone can beat him he had the ability to outwit the opposition

Answer 2

The Han army would win. The Romans were highly trained, but their weapons and armor would be no match for the sheer numbers of soldiers in the Han army nor the Han weapons.

Interestingly enough, some historians believe that the two civilizations came within 100 to 500 miles of each other in terms of their scouting missions. The Romans eventually conquered small parts of Persia and ventured into the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan, while the Han are thought to have explored around the northern reaches of modern-day Afghanistan and into northern India. It's a big historical question as to what the world could have become if the two empires met and discovered the vastness of one another. Would they have become allies and thrived off of trade and mutual respect, or would the world between Arabia and India have become a vast battlefield, eventually ending in the triumph of one culture over another and the spread of one cultural influence even further than what we have in today's world?

Answer 3

Definitely Han. I see how the jealous fans of Rome are trying to downvote each 'Han Empire wins' comment, but sadly, it is the truth. Alexander the Great NEVER went into China. Also, you must remember that is was the Han generals of Wudi's reign that send the Huns sprawling to Rome. When the Huns eventually got there, Rome was destroyed.

Still, I'm sure the Han would not want to fight a war. They were not bloodthirsty killers like the Romans. They only fought when the people of neighboring kingdoms tried to attack them. That is how amazing the Han empire was. It expanded its territory by defense, not by offense as the Romans did. And see: the Han empire was BIGGER than the Roman Empire!

Answer 4

if these mighty empires fought, id have to say that the Romans would win

with most of europe and the coasts of the Mediterranean controlled, supplies would be easily shipped between different bases and the Roman government was much to strong for the Han government to outsmart

most of all, the Roman troops had high morale, fighting for their country, and were strong and had lasting endurance in wars

Answer 5

Hans Empire FTW!!!. Asians Rule. Asian>Everyone. Hans shot egg rolls from their cannons. They also shoot noodles from their bows that tangle up the Romans. Hans also have Chopsticks for 1 on 1 combat. Their shield is a sweet wok. so there.....Hans FTW

Answer 6

Han hands down. Their tactics novel, more advanced, with a cavalry of archers that's no match to massed static army formations. Think of it, as the forerunners of the modern german divisions of world war II.

If Genghis Khan did not die, he would have crushed the romans handily. Of course he died, and the rest is history.

Answer 7

Han was technically more advanced they used explosives
