Pharaoh's Mace
A Pharaoh's Mace was a staff with a gabbro ball at the end, specifically utilized by the pharaohs of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Pharaoh's Mace was, in truth, hardly a mace. It was functionally a wooden staff with a small, studded ball at its end carved from gabbro, a type of igneous rock. While this rough head could be used to crush bones and even inflict grievous injuries, it was exceedingly diminutive in proportion to the pole, acting more like a reinforced end of the staff. The Mace was also quite plain, lacking any ornamentation to speak of, and yet this did not stop it from being employed by the pharaoh as a simultaneous scepter and weapon.
History[edit | edit source]
During his hunt for the Order of the Ancients, 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[edit | edit source]
The Pharaoh's Mace, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Origins, shares the same model as the commonly found Cypriot Gabbro Head, another weapon in the same game. The same model was recycled as the model of the Rough Staff, a weapon in Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and its kind.
