A spetum was a pole weapon of Europe during the 13th century. It consisted of a long pole some 6–8 feet long on which was mounted a spear head with two projections at its base. Many variations of this design flourished over time; some feel that the ranseur is a variation of the spetum. Other names include: chauve souris corseca corsèsque korseke runka and rawcon. The spetum is usually distinguished from the ranseur and partisan by its prongs being single edged and used for slashing.
