The individual soldier had his sword, dagger, spear and sometimes javelin and his shield which could also be used as a pushing/pinning weapon. The Romans also made use of bowmen and slingers. They also had various sizes of "ballista" which were mainly siege engines, but smaller, mobile ones were used on the battlefield as well. The ballista could fire either rocks or large arrows.
