A development of the
club, a mace consists of a strong, heavy wooden, metal-reinforced, or metal shaft, with a head made of stone, copper, bronze, iron or steel. The mace was the first
weapon made specifically for use against humans, rather than using hunting weapons to fight with.The head is normally about the same or slightly thicker than the diameter of the shaft and can be shaped with flanges, or knobs to allow greater penetration of armour. The length of maces can vary considerably. The maces of foot soldiers were usually quite short (two or three feet). The maces of
cavalrymen were longer and better designed for blows from horseback. Two-handed maces ("
mauls") could be even larger. The
flail is often, though incorrectly, referred to as a mace.
