But then Vegetius also talks about arcuballistae and manuballistae, which certainly *seem* like something like a crossbow. Which might suggest that a non-technical writer like Ammianus might omit a prefix and use the base term.
I've always wondered if it was an anachronism - that Roman crossbow troops had emerged from the artillery and so remained ballistarii...much like the U.S. First Cavalry Division contains no appreciable number of horses.

Yeah we forget that ancient armies had traditions too and that names might not imply a literal description Which puts a lot if funerary monument interpretation into a different light
