Historically, maces are one of the oldest types of edged weapons, because the idea of their creation is simple. It was enough to attach something heavy to the end of a stick and that's it, a powerful weapon that can break bones and crack heads is ready. Therefore, maces quickly became popular among many peoples, especially since they are much more unpretentious in care compared to the same swords, which need to be sharpened regularly.
With the development and spread of firearms, the relevance of cold weapons began to decline sharply. But since humanity's connection with the latter by this time had already become very strong, cold weapons began to turn into ceremonial ones, becoming a symbol of something, as a rule of power. Suffice it to recall the sword with which the British monarch consecrates knights. In our country, Ukrainian maces, historically associated with hetmans, began to play a similar important symbolic role.
