Can't answer the first question with certainty, but the second needs clarification.

Romans used more than one sword before the various versions of the Gladius. How far back you are talking about will affect the answer. Probably the immediate predecessor was the "Gladius Hispaniensis", a longer, narrower, more curved-edge blade. Before that, Roman panoply was pretty much like Greek, Samnite, or Etruscan...it all depends on the century you choose. (Century being a measure of time in this instance, not a group of soldiers)
