Any good articles about how the Romans made use of their slingers or archers?

A person I know postulated that they were stationed behind the legions and fired overhead.


also any idea on the range of slings & bows?



I did my best to search for previous theads but all I found was stuff on Hamian archers. . . Sad

I am looking specifically for information on Roman Auxillia in later republic/ early imperial period. But wouldn't mind reading about Eastern bow-use.

Thanks for whatever you can send me.
