Greetings,
....would the Spartha have been adopted as the Roman army was moving more into using cavalry and skirmish tactics than marching legions...?
If all soldiers were armed with a cavalry sword they were also more adaptable in the roles they played and also the Spartha had a longer reach if the fighting was becoming more independant of the shield line up.

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
