Legionaries would never break formation to fight one on one, they fought as a single cohesive unit which no gladiator could stand up too. Also where the hell did they get enough vines to make not one, but 4 ropes to descend a volcano over 4000ft high??

but, where ole sparty was, they had to fight on an individual basis, so their numbers counted for naught.
