What If Medieval Europe Fought The Roman Empire?

What would happen if the armies of Medieval Europe suddenly came face-to-face with the Roman Empire at its military peak? In this alternate-history war, Emperor Frederick II and a medieval army of knights, crossbowmen, archers, and spearmen are thrown into the world of Marcus Aurelius and the Roman legions. Medieval Europe brings heavier cavalry, stronger armor, crossbows, longbows, and trebuchets. Rome brings disciplined legions, engineering, roads, logistics, manpower, and one of the most powerful military systems in ancient history. The result is not as simple as asking which army has better weapons. Could medieval knights smash through Roman formations? Could Rome adapt to crossbows and trebuchets? And even if Medieval Europe won the biggest battles, could it actually defeat an empire with millions of people, endless roads, and the ability to replace entire armies? This is Medieval Europe vs the Roman Empire.
