Why not? Thaumaturge and Conjurer currently share very similar weaponry with no confusion because Conjurers use wands, canes and crooks whilst Thaumaturges use cudgels, scepters and staves.

Longswords go to Paladin, Daggers go to Thief, Katanas for Samurai, Greatswords for Dark Knight etc. It really wouldn't be too difficult to take the various varieties of swords from gladiator away and give them to another class/job.
