A thing we regularly do on RAT is take it to a hypothetical Roman vs. Roman scenario. But the primary purpose of the Roman army was to fight other nations.

So, bearing that in mind, Gallic, Celtic and Germanic foot warriors needing space to use their weapons with, didn't really stand a chance, no? They had to fight in open order to swing their swords. Spears, maybe another story.
