Quote:Thanks! speaking of maces, I am curious about the item in this fellow's belt. Is it a long mace? a basket-hilt sword?

(I love the picture for clear layout of kit. I'm looking for a high-rez color version of it, if anyone has encountered such a thing.)

.....Aurelian's auxiliaries used metal headed clubs (maces by any other name) to deal with Palmyran cataphracts. .
I would be willing to bet a large amount of money on it being a long-handled, flange-headed mace. I've seen something like it, a cog-like mace head that is, in bronze/brass labelled as "Middle-Eastern" and "Late Medieval."
