Every sword is better with its distinct qualities and has different purposes.

The Roman Sword is meant for close fight in combat and used with shield. The Chinese sword is for one to two hand sword use, it has a much longer blade for a longer reach.

The quality of both swords depends on who make it. Which one is good in a combat is depends on the fighting style of the warrior using the weapon.

Which sword is better 'roman sword or medieval sword?

Medieval swords were much longer and used for slashing. The Roman infantry swords were shorter, and although Roman cavalry used a longer sword, they were still shorter than Medieval swords. The Roman sword was intended primarily for stabbing. It may be impossible to say which was better. In Medieval times armies were smaller than in Roman times because no one could afford to maintain the huge standing armies which once made the Roman sword so effective in battle. I think that each was the right sword for its time.
