The smaller the weapons, the more likely they are duel-wielded. For identical weapons, there are very few examples and most are predictably Asian. Paired butterfly swords is probably the best documented. Sai, nunchucks, etc. were usually single weapons despite modern forms. For show purposes, plenty and gorgeous like paired dao.
One weapon that would make an absolute beast doubled would be gladius, someone ITT mentions the Dimachaerus gladiator type.
Another thought, as others are discussing strength and size of weapons, is that the longer the weapon the more precise the timing needed to perform, the more risk of fouling between the paired weapons. For example, the antique paired dao my sifu had were notably shorter than a proper length single dao by maybe 3".
