As I remember some heated enough debates from some years ago about this very subject and just came across this video
I think the handle should have been longer however (at least 2/3 or 3/4 of the blade length, the weapon had more variants however), it would have added more reach and power to the strikes (one like the Falx used to split that shield have).
The helmet is a WW 1 era one, which I think is a good substitute (surely must have a better steel than an ancient Roman one), but also the sword steel probably is better than an ancient one.
With a bit of training and a longer handle I think the effects of the strikes would have been even better shown and make an idea about how might have been in the past
