About War Club
The war club was a short wooden rod used for striking the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. It could be held with one hand and was used to strike the enemy on all parts of his body, particularly where he was unprotected by armor. The mace was normally fitted with a heavy head made of stone or metal. This head was wedged over the end of the stick and secured by tying or by the tapered shape of the stick. The handle too could be tapered wider in order to give a better grip. The handle was sometimes curved.
