> Gets wrecked by horse archers. That ends up being typical for Romans

I don't think the Western Romans ever really learned from it did they? The Huns ended up wreaking them pretty hard.

I know the Eastern Romans did learn at some point out of necessity by creating their own professional units and hiring mercs.

massed horse archers wrecked pretty much everyone constantly until the 1600s
Fighter Jets with missiles are the modern version of the same concept.
