Not really. Long swords like that were very rare, especially in Roman lands. Often, the Roman swords were actually quite short, about 1 1/2 feet, about the length of your desktop keyboard. Yup it`s that small. But surprisingly, most of the Roman shields were B.I.G. . It would cover at least 3/4 of the soldiers length. Try searching "Why were Roman swords short" in WikiAnswers if you are curious.
