No,you can't compare them not because they are 2 different mediums but because they belong in completely different periods of history.
It's like trying to compare a 500 b.c. Spartan warrior with a contemporary soldier.It's impossible.

To fully understand and appreciate something,you must be aware of the time period it was produced.
