Roman soldiers wore their pugio on the left, and gladius at the right side, isn't it? Did they have a reason for that? The officers wore gladius left and pugio right, which is much easier to pull your sword. In later times they wore it indeed on the left, but in the Republic and early Empire on the right. Why?
