How a Roman Legionnaire can Beat a Mongol Warrior

# data[].attributes.body
Mongol warriors rely mainly on their weapons and horses. They do not know how to fight with only their hands and feet. Plus, Roman soldiers can use their pilums to kill the Mongol horses, so Mongolians will have to fight on foot, which they are not that used to. Mongolians only wear one layer of armor, while Roman Legionnaires wear three. Plus they train in rotations, so they will not have as much practice with fighting as the Romans, who train at the same time.

The Roman Legionnaire does not promote peace and fairness in any of the letters because usually it was them who causes wars just so they can expand the Roman Empire. Roman Legionnaires do not have respect for life, nor ending of violence. They do not have respect for territorial integrity since they fight to get land to make their empire larger. They also do not have respect for human rights because they treat other non-Roman people rudely. Roman Legionnaires also make enemy soldiers fight in the Roman Colosseum.
