The Chinese had repeating crossbows too, complete with magazines full of bolts, capable of 40 rounds per minute.

The Romans, however, would have quickly adopted and incorporated any technology used against them, so any superior Chinese weapon would become a Roman weapon. I'm unsure if the Chinese would have done likewise.
