It has been said that the Roman army used the hi-tech weapons of their day. The individuals used swords, the gladius being the ideal thrusting weapon for the infantry. They also carried knives and javelins and used a shield for protection and also for crowding/pushing at the enemy. The cavalry used the spatha, which was a long sword appropriate for a horse fighter. As far as the artillery, they used "balista" which is a catchall term for any long range throwing device. Included in this category were the catapults which threw rocks/boulders, the scorpion, which shot high speed arrows, and the onager which did the same. Flaming arrows were also used. They used bowmen and slingers who were usually auxiliaries. A lead shot thrown by a slinger could pierce armor, much like our present day bullets. By the way, when they used lead or stone shot, they had a habit of writing insults on the missiles.
