As requested:
I own 2 spathas - one based on the Nydam bog finds and 2/3rd century - hilt width, 4.5cm, mid-width, 4.25cm, and the width before it tapers into the point is 4.00cm.
The second spatha is a 4/5th century model - hilt width, 4.75cm, mid-width, 4.00cm, tapering to the point width is 3.25cm.
There are pics on the facebook page for the Barcarii:
