Casually, to maintain an existing weapon, they would use a whetstone and carefully rub it against the blade's edges, at a certain angle and with a certain manner of stroke. To give a blade its initial edge, typically it would be sharpened with a grinding wheel by the cutler who assembled and shaped it. Presumably, if you wanted a more professional sharpening of your dulled sword, or you wanted to file down a chip in the blade, you could take it to a cutler and have it resharpened by a grinding wheel, though doing this too often would probably result in a thinner blade.

How did short sword helped Romans army?
I don`t know, maybe the Romans were too lazy :) But to answer your question, the Romans already thought that their spears were long enough to jab their opponents. So they thought their swords should be short for close range, the opponent about 2-4 feet away from them. Another theory is that they used to knock their opponents with their shield so that the opponent becomes dizzy or unaware of what`s going on, so that the Romans have the opportunity to jab them freely. This only happens when the opponent gets too close to him.
