Abstract

Over the past few years, the number of mace heads discovered in the collections of the Transylvanian museums has gradually increased. The National Museum of Transylvanian History makes no exception. The reorganization and re‑evaluation of its collections brought together 20 mace heads, three kistens, and one kisten chain, all of them unpublished so far. With the help and generosity of the museum staff, I compiled, analyzed, and dated these artifacts using, where possible, the existing typo‑chronologies. For the significant number of maces and kistens where no classification exists, I took on the analysis of relevant analogies.
