Unleash---Interesting you bring up the Zulus as the Zulus and Romans had much in common in fighting technique and mindset. Like the legionary the Zulu sought very close combat and used a large shield held with a handgrip and used a short thrusting weapon; the Zulu stabbing spear (iklwah) was used much as the gladius was. A shame the Zulus lacked enough iron to provide for true swords and armor, an armored impi would have been a sight :-) I think a late Republican or early Imperial Roman army would have rolled over any Medievil army, Mongols and Swiss would give them the hardest time.
