Who do you think would crush Alexander or Hannibal? Who would crush Attila, Ghengis Khan, or Charlemagne? Even if we're just trying to have this discussion for fun, saying "Rome > everyone else" is too vague. Personally, I'd vote either Caesar or Scipio Africanus as the greatest Roman commanders/armies of all time.
Which brings us back to commanders. Whether you select a Roman army or a Medieval one is irrelevant. If you place someone like Caesar in command of a medieval army then it will beat a Roman army that is commanded by a less competent person.
