The Spatha, as with the Gladius, was adopted from the Celtic and Germanic people of Europe and eventually adapted to suit their purposes. While seeing relatively little service during the Kingdom and Republic of Rome, the Spatha became more commonplace among the heavy infantry of the legions and auxiliary Roman cavalry as (from the mid to late Empire) more foreign mercenaries and soldiers (mostly Germanic of origin) were bought into service for Rome. During the Empire's late years, the Spatha became the main armament of the Roman legionaries, replacing the shorter gladius that had been used for countless centuries before.
