The Romans had several devices for fighting depending upon what type of fighting they were doing. The basic equipment for the legionary was his javelin, knife and sword---his pilum, pugio and gladius. The shields were also carried and could be used as a pushing weapon. If they were besieging a town, they would bring in siege equipment, such as siege towers, various types of balistae, and mechanical arrow shooters such as the scorpio and onager.

They can adapt their way of fighting but only to a certain extent, not to the degree of inventing new ways of fighting. It takes a great general with genius and talent like casear to be able to think of new innovative arts of war which the Romans at that time do not have.
