He ment in your profile, you find it under the button "Profile" upper left side.
To your question: Junkelmann call the length in the time of the eraly 2nd (Trajan, Hadrian, Anton. Pius) round about 65 -70 cm.
The blade of Canterbury out of the 2nd half of the 2nd century, type of Nydam is really 69 cm long and 5 cm wide.
A publication of the Limesmuseum Aalen tell us, that the norm would be round about 90 cms
The spatha of Cologne is with the grip indeed 93 cm long, the blade alone 73 cm.
Perhaps you will also take an eye to the ring pommel swords.
