The Bronze Axe

The Bronze Axe was a common model of battleaxe forged from bronze prevalent in Egypt during the Ptolemaic dynasty.

Description

Although the Bronze Axe—aptly named for it was forged from bronze—was designed like a battlexe, it was not altogether a very effective one. For this reason, it was more suited for hacking down trees like a normal axe rather than for combat. Nevertheless, it could still suffice for self-defense given its lethality.

History

The Bronze Axe was widely prevalent as a cheap battleaxe of choice for Egyptian and Greek soldiers during the 1st century BCE. As such, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa commonly found this weapon in the inventories of blacksmiths and on bodies and in chests during his travels throughout Egypt.[1]

Behind the scenes

The model of the Bronze Axe, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Origins, shares the same model as the Scalloped Head Axe, another weapon in the same game. The model was recycled as the Crude Axe, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and its kind. The model was also used as the basis for the weapon wielded by the veterans, elites, and armored guards of the Cultists as seen in the The Mask of the Ibis-Helix Rift Event of Assassin's Creed: Rebellion.
