Many late Roman swords were pattern-welded and show evidence of quenching and tempering. Many were still made of mild steel with the "Streifendamast" technique though (this is folding the steel into "piled" steel, and as they added more folds over time it developed into pattern-welding if I am correct. I could be wrong ofc.)
