Can make throwing weapon??

Like roma soldier, or viking warrior...

Throw some hammers, axes to enemies before going into the brawling.

No.
Well, that's not entirely true, is it? You can easily mod them in.
The issue is that they'd only be usable by player adventurers, since nps in fortress and adventurer don't know how to use throwing weapons (except accidentally while bar-brawling).

The wording of his question implied armies (i.e fortress mode).

Pretty sure you could fake it. Make a throwing axe ranged weapon that fires near identical throwing axes for example.

We are currently three turns in, and the main hall is coated in blood, intestines and random corpses. There's a huge pile of 3000 items made of human body parts in a corner and remaining members of the staff of the museum are, as I type this, being slowly choked to death by one of our adventurers.

In my example it was "spear thrower" for primitive javelins, which is not far from reality:
