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.

Why were the Roman Army so successful for there training?

They were highly disciplined, with intelligent and effective commanders, were issued good quality equipment, and were well trained in the use of their equipment and effective combat formations and manoeuvres. The Romans also made a point of learning as much as they could about their enemies prior to engaging them in combat so they could take advantages of the enemies weaknesses and take contingencies against their strengths.Of course this was not always the case, most of the major defeats of the Roman army can be traced to failures of one or more of these factors.
