Is it bad that I know the name of that type of sword?

Gpt4o agrees. 

This sword does resemble the design of a Roman gladius, particularly with its short, straight blade, compact grip, and pommel. The scabbard and handle seem to align with the style typically associated with a gladius. However, without seeing the blade itself, it is difficult to confirm the exact style or historical accuracy. The gladius was a standard weapon of Roman soldiers, designed for close combat.
