Halberd is an ancient weapon composed of a long rod. The rod is topped off by a pointed piece of iron, which in turn is crossed by a blade in the shape of a half-moon (similar to that of an ax), with a hook or spur on the other side. It is included in the category of long-handled weapons, which became better known in the 16th century. It was the Sergeants' weapon. It is considered the most effective infantry weapon against invaders in fortifications and walls. It was par excellence the weapon used by the guards of castles and palaces and still appears today as the standard in historic military units, kept for decorative purposes, with their period uniforms and armor. A group of soldiers with halberds could immobilize a knight in armor, especially when dismounted from the horse, some pulling with the pointed hooks and others anchoring it with the end of the spear. It has the advantage of increasing leverage and reach due to the length of the cable.
