Channit/ - What if all of reddit was run like /r/4chan? Battleaxes, poleaxes, halberds, and various related weapons followed this plan: broad chopping blade, backed by an armour-piercing hammer spike, sometimes with a spear-like thrusting point set between them.Posts: / new/ / hot/ / rising/ / gilded/ Best: / day/ / week/ / month/ / year/ / all/ It's just that the 2nd head was generally not another axe, but a hammer or spike or somesuch. However, if you're willing to stretch your definition of the double-axe a bit, dual-headed (or even triple-headed) weapons with axe blades were actually very common in medieval european armouries. He describes one in which the two axe blades are set perpendicular to each other (so more of an adze-axe than a double-axe), and concludes that it was more likely a workman's tool than a weapon. He does follow with some comments on the very rare double axes that had been found, although even they did not follow the symmetrical plan of the labrys. Neither is it seen in the hands of the Anglo-Saxons in the Bayeux Tapestry. In the graves, the bipennis has never been found at all. The double-axe is of still more rare occurrence in book-paintings. I can't find much in my more recent books, but John Hewitt ( Ancient Armour & Weapons) says: Northern Europeans made a lot of use of axes as weapons, but the classical double-axe, or bipennis, was not a big thing in those cultures.
This symbolism was connected to its use a sacrificial instrument, so it's significance was likely more religious than military. The double-axe carried a lot of symbolism in the bronze age, particularly in Greek and Minoan cultures. Previous AMAs | Previous Roundtables Featuresįeature posts are posted weekly.
