A halberd is a versatile pole weapon that combines features of a spear and an axe, typically consisting of a long shaft with a pointed blade, an axe-like edge, and often a hook or spike on the back. It was primarily used in the late medieval and Renaissance periods by infantry to combat armored opponents. The design allowed for both thrusting and cutting motions, making it effective in various combat scenarios. Halberds were commonly employed in formations and were a symbol of military authority.
