Kolias seems to have thought of a mace in the first place, and tried to fit the text accordingly. His drawing on p. 175 shows something not like a plumbata but already more like a mace, with a spike-studded lead weight but without a point!
There was that image from Vegetius? which showed a weight in the normal position, but wit hwhat looked to me to be spikes on it?
I think that fits the description, but the logic escapes me..... :?
Visne partem mei capere? Comminus agamus! * Me semper rogo, Quid faceret Iulius Caesar? * Confidence is a good thing! Overconfidence is too much of a good thing.
