The swords used by the early legions would have been Greek in origin, either the Xiphos (a leaf-bladed or tapered short sword between 19 and 24 inches in length) or the Kopis, a forward-bent single edge cutting sword reminescent of a Nepalese Kukri. Probably both types were found depending on personal preferences of the legionaries. While the Gladius Hispanenses was probably introduced during the II Punic War, it is possible that a similar (but somewhat inferior) weapon also called gladius was adopted from the northern Italy Celts already during the IV Century BC, if so the Legions of the 1st Punic war already fought with a sword that would have been very similar (if somewhat shorter and lighter) to the famous Gladius Hispanensis.
Gladius. Although usually described as a short thrusting sword, it also worked well as a slashing sword. It should be noted that the full name for a gladius is Gladius Hispaniensisor hispanic sword.The Gladius was adopted by Rome during the third century BC. Made of Bronze or Iron, it is about 2 feet long and weighs 2.5 to 3.5 pounds. It was standard issue to every Roman Legion.
In some versions of the legend, Merlin placed the sword in the stone, in other versions it was supposed to be the sword of Maximus who put the sword in the stone before he went off to Rome to become emperor, pledging that the sword would remain until the day he returned to rule England.

Gladius means sword. A common English derivative is gladiator. As for the origin of the Latin word gladius, it is not really known, but the Latin language was adapted from the language of the Latins, who inhabited Italy before Rome was founded.

The word 'gladiator' is Latin for 'swordsman.' It comes from the root word ' gladius' meaning 'sword.' Gladiator fights were a form of entertainment in Ancient Rome.
Sword of Rome happened in 2004.
I don`t know, maybe the Romans were too lazy :) But to answer your question, the Romans already thought that their spears were long enough to jab their opponents. So they thought their swords should be short for close range, the opponent about 2-4 feet away from them. Another theory is that they used to knock their opponents with their shield so that the opponent becomes dizzy or unaware of what`s going on, so that the Romans have the opportunity to jab them freely. This only happens when the opponent gets too close to him.
