A Sledgehammer is a tool with a large, flat, often metal head, attached to a long handle. As the shape of its head allows it to apply more force than other hammers, it came to be used as a weapon since at least the 5th century BCE.
During the Peloponnesian War the misthios Kassandra could purchase the sledgehammer from blacksmiths or loot it from bodies across Greece.[1]
By the Renaissance, the use of sledgehammers were still common. During the 16th century, Ezio Auditore da Firenze could purchase the sledgehammer from any blacksmiths in Constantinople.[2]
