Hello Victor---Romans were armored in iron not leather. Medievil armies were sorely lacking in training and disipline not to mention logistics and engineering, things the Romans had in spades. Crossbow was slow to fire and more usefull in sieges than the field, in any case they developed methods for dealing with missle armed enemies like the Parthians. Damascus steel is no big deal, in Crusades Western Knights were more than a match for Damascus armed Saracens in fighting hand to hand. As for the Swiss--in the late Middle Ages they were the champs of Europe, defeated Burgundy and the Hapsburgs and became Europe's foremost supplier of mercenaries. They were most excellent soldiers; well trained and displined and with excellent weapons and tactics. They were incredibly brave and aggresive and very cruel, gave no quarter and expected none.
