Compound bow and superior archers= Roman defeat

[rv]

It is so obvious that the Parthian/Persian were easily the hardest enemy for the Romans. This when they were in their prime too. In reality the Romans had little difficulty with other Europeans. (occasional trap) But the Romanos were Always heavily outnumbered there. (so heavily that Anglo Europeans try to lower the numbers..but evidence abounds)(you are talking about a city state only)The Romans mounted most of their legions against the east and still they lost many including an emperors head! The powerful bow and cavalry could easily take out Roman cavalry and foot soldiers. Perhaps the Celts/German/Iberians/Goths could have done like wise. All that had to be done was keep away from their foot soldiers and arrow them to death. The Celts/Germans /Goths had better bows too than the Romans,plus with their numbers this could have been an easy accomplishment. (like the Persians)In all fairness to you Europeans the Persians did get trapped in hand to hand battle too though and got destroyed by the Roman foot soldier but not often. As said...keep away from them and utilize their inferiority of their bowmen. So simple but so few followed this.
