Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Mace of the Sphinx, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, shares the model with the more commonly found Morning Star, another weapon in the same game. They are both recycled from the Bone-Cracker, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Origins, which itself was apparently based on a mace from Roman Egypt dated to 30 B.C.–A.D. 364 which is now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with accession number "15.2.6a, b".[2]
Despite the description, no runes or symbols are present in the model of the weapon.
