  Mace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maces were used extensively in the bronze age in the near east.
Medieval bishops sometimes carried maces in battle instead of swords, so as to conform to the canonical rule which forbade priests to shed blood; unlike sword-strokes or thrusts from a spear, the blows from a mace could maim or kill without drawing blood.
Ceremonial maces are still used to represent authority and prestige, as in the House of Commons in a Westminster System parliament, and at educational institutions such as Cornell University.

The greatest source of wealth in the East Indies, Fernand Braudel has noted, was the trade within the archipelago, what the Dutch called inlandse handel, where one commodity was exchanged for another, with profit at each turn, with silver from the Americas, more desirable in the East than in Europe.
By concentrating on monopolies in the fine spices, Dutch policy encouraged monoculture: Amboyna for cloves, Timor for sandalwood, the Bandas for mace and nutmeg.
Monoculture linked island economies to the mercantile system to provide the missing necessities of life.
