The Roman Legion's main weapon was a battle-spear with a full body-shield. The battle-spear, when used correctly, would be able to keep a swordsman at bay due to its longer reach. It could also be shortened, simply by choking up on it. If it was dropped or knocked away, most warriors carried a backup blade as well.
