Artillery carbine
Understand the Roman style sword was for HEAVY artillery, the boys who manned the huge huge Rodman Columbiad cannons in fortress, mostly river and ocean fortresses. Fort Sumter, or Fort Point in SF Bay. That sort of thing.
The carbines were for issue primarily for light artillery, the boys who hauled the wheeled stuff around behind horses.
BTW, there's a decently high survival rate on the big Columbiads. They were inconveniently huge, and located in hard to access places as far as scrapping them went. So unlike huge portion of the surviving Civil War light artillery, these were not melted for iron in WWII.
The artillery version of the US M1847 Artillery musketoon used a roman sword version of a bayonet. Bet that was muzzle heavy as hell.
