The ancient Roman armies used a variety of weapons in their battles with their opponents. Here are a number of them:

* javelins or also called spears;

* swords of various types;

* catapults to throw rocks and burning oils into enemy fortresses and into enemy battle lines; and

* protective armour and helmets, although not exactly "weapons" they were essential to fighting battles.
