In this timeperiod onagers (what we now call catapults) are not in use. Catapulta (what we would call ballista) were in heavy use differentiated by the size of rock they could hurl. They are essentially large crossbows that fling rocks rather than bolts. Greeks can build them from the beginning. Some factions can capture or bribe them. The Romans can build them after the marian reforms.
