Something I accidentally found:

FLAVI VEGETI RENATI VIRI INLUSTRIS COMITIS
EPITOMA REI MILITARIS LIBER II,25,line 4-5:

"Non solum autem [Carroballistae] castra defendunt, uerum etiam in campo post aciem grauis armaturae ponuntur..."

That means: The Carroballistae were not only used to defend the fort,but were in battle even installed behind heavy infantry.
