I am of the opinion that it is a gladius. Just by looking at it, it does not appear to be long enough and not even narrow enough to be a spatha.
It does not appear to be wasped waisted enough to be a Mainz pattern gladius. The point sems to be a bit more tappered than a Pompeii pattern gladius, so with out exact measurements, by guess is that it is a Fulham pattern gladius.
Cheers!!
