I think it might be fun to ask when to what point the Mainz gladius was used and at what point the Pompeii gladius was put into circulation. GRATIAS TIBI,

If you want a rough and ready answer, it would be around 50 AD, around the same time the Newstead spatha makes its appearance. BUT ... a variation of the Mainz gladius, the Haltern-Camulodunum stays around till 120 AD, the classic Pompeii lasting till 150 AD
