Like all ancient peoples, the Romans sued swords. They also adopted the Greek ballista and greatly improved on it. This was a crossbow-like catapult which fired darts.. There were large ones which were used for sieges and were carried on a wheeled wooden platform and there were small, handheld ones. In their later days they developed the onager, which fired boulders. Medieval catapults were modelled on the onager.
