The roman army made their weapons by making metal then shaping them.


Generally, they were made of wood, iron and rope.

Twisting rope creates tension and this was converted into thrusting force. Catapults and other throwing weapons used this source of energy.

Wood is - relative to metal - lightweight for transporting

Iron provided the penetrating strength for their projectiles.
