So, funny story but I met my wife in a medieval (yes, not ancient) history class because we were both the sort of nerds that would chat with the professor afterwards and the first conversation we had was about the use of halberds and other large polearms.https://twitter.com/CSMFHT/status/1392552522011725831 …

What would the “primary weapon” for a heavy-armored combatant generally look like? Would it mostly be spears and polearms?
Mostly spears and polearms yes. Swords were typically backup weapons (Romans unusual in this regard). Two-handed swords were often primary weapons but hand-and-a-half swords were generally backups (including longsword and katana).

How did Romans fought Cavalry with their short swords?
-
Shock cavalry? A deep, solid block of infantry which holds its ground can repel cavalry without spears. Infantry is denser and horses cannot trample a dense mass of men; when the horseman stops, he's facing attack from all sides and unable to turn.
