I'm not an expert on roman bows , but I've shot mongol , scythian and hungarian style bows with a thumbring.
If I'm not mistaken the romans recruited auxiliary archers who were from different parts of the empire .So mongolian bows with string bridges might not have been used , but scythian and hungarian-type with siyahs are both possibilities .
