*Flanged* maces?

[Urselius]

It seems to have been largely confined to cavalry. They had more provision for stowing secondary, or tertiary weapons - on the saddle - than an infantryman. In a description of a battle in the 1150s between the Hungarians and Byzantines, the Byzantine heavy cavalry are described as first shattering their lances, then blunting their swords and finally resorting to their maces.

Aurelian had some club-armed infantry who knocked the Palmyrere cataphracts silly in his campaign against Zenobia, however.
