Las armas de punta y filo de los guerreros del México Central no presentan diferencias regionales. Para los mixtecas y los aztecas es posible reconstruirlas en base a representaciones en los manuscritos pictográficos y a las descripciones hechas por testigos oculares de la Conquista. Había dos tipos de macanas (macquauitl), dos de alabardas, un mazo (quauhololli) y, además, espadas de ceremonia y de gladiadores desprovistos de filo. Unmacquauitl y una alabarda se conservaron aún durante el siglo XIX en la Real Armería de Madrid, pero quedaron destruidos en un incendio antes de ser analizados y descritos científicamente.Downloads
