The Roman Weapons

The catapult Rome did not invent the catapult, but they did invent the idea of using it for more then just seige; they also invented many of the modifications to the catapult Ideas from the bow and the catapult were put together to form the ballista

The Ballista A rope would be put in the frame (taken from the bow) that was angled to form a “V” shape. This made the ballista more powerful than the catapult or the bow. Unfortunately for the Romans, this stronger and sturdier frame made movement a great deal harder and added weight. From the ballista came the Scorpio.

The Scorpio. The Scorpio was made out of wood and fired a 27” bolt. Because the scorpio was made out of wood it allowed the arms to curve easier, which gave a greater twist of the rope, which also gave it a greater range than the ballista. The Scorpio was improved to make the Cheiroballistra.

The Cheiroballistra The Cheiroballistra was stronger and sturdier than the ballista and the Scorpio, but was lighter and more transportable than both of them.It covered even more ground than the Scorpio with it’s shot.It was made out of metal not wood, so the rope springs were not as close together, wich came up with a better result meaning more power. The rope springs were protected from the weather by cyndrilical sleeves.

The composite Bow Roman horse-archers used the composite bow, so called because of the many parts used In its construction. The basic shape of the bow is made of a wooden core wich then had horn, bone and sinew added to it.

The Spatha The spatha was a type of straight and long sword, measuring between 0.75 and 1 m (30 and 39 in). It has been used throughout the first millennium AD in Europe, and in the territory of the Roman Empire until about 600 AD. The word comes from the Latin spatha,which derives from Greek σπάθη (spáthē), meaning "any broad blade, of wood or metal" but also "broad blade of a sword"

The Gladius ● The Gladius is a short stabbing weapon with a blade length of around 50—60cm (19.6— 23.6in), the gladius was the primary fighting sword of the Roman soldier. This sword was described by the ancient Romans as the “gladius hispaniensis”, in recognition of a similar type of Celtic design encountered by the Romans during their conquest of Hispania (modern-day Spain) during the Second Punic War (218—201BC). Before this, Roman soldiers would have used swords of Greek origin

The Pugio The term pugio comes from the Latin term pugnus meaning fist. The word refers to the shape of the handle. The origins of the Roman pugio are still not completly known and this is mainly due to the lack of information available.

The Pilum The main heavy spear or javelin used by the Roman Army was the pilum, wich was about 2m in length. It consisted of a iron shank with a triangular head socketed into it. The pilum would have been thrown by charging legionaries and could easily penetrate shield and armour from a range of around 1 5m.
