A Roman Ballista was a catapult-like device used for throwing stones at city walls during a siege.

The Romans did need machines. They did not invent the two most important ones, the ballista (a crossbow -like catapult) and the crane because they adopted them from the Greeks. They developed them further, massively improving them. They invented the onager, a one armed torsion catapult which could fire bigger round projectiles
