A singled-handed arming sword or knightly sword, often incorrectly referred to as a "broadsword", generally weighed between 2 and 3 pounds, averaging around 2.5 pounds. A hand-and-a-half sword, also known as a bastard sword or longsword, was usually between 2.5 and 4 pounds with an average of approximately 3 pounds. A two-handed sword, so named because it was so large that it could only be effectively wielded with two hands, weighed from 5 pounds to as much as 7-8 pounds for the especially large ones. Ceremonial swords that were not used for combat could be much heavier.

Which sword is better 'roman sword or medieval sword?
Medieval swords were much longer and used for slashing. The Roman infantry swords were shorter, and although Roman cavalry used a longer sword, they were still shorter than Medieval swords. The Roman sword was intended primarily for stabbing. It may be impossible to say which was better. In Medieval times armies were smaller than in Roman times because no one could afford to maintain the huge standing armies which once made the Roman sword so effective in battle. I think that each was the right sword for its time.
