The tepoztopilli [tepostoːˈpiːlːi] was a common front-line weapon of the Aztec military. The tepoztopilli was a pole-arm, and to judge from depictions in various Aztec codices it was roughly the height of a man, although historian John Pohl indicates that the weapon used between the 12th and 14th century was made in sizes from 3 feet to 7 feet in length. The wedge-shaped wooden head, about twice the length of the users' palm or shorter, was edged with razor-sharp obsidian blades which were deeply set in grooves carved into the head. They were cemented in place with bitumen or plant resin as an adhesive. This made the tepoztopilli vaguely similar to the macuahuitl or "macana", however it had a much smaller cutting edge and a longer handle. The greater length gave the weapon a superior reach

  • La tepoztopilli (del náhuatl: tepostopilli ‘lanza de hierro’) era un arma de primera línea común de los militares aztecas. Era un arma de asta y, a juzgar por las representaciones en diversos códices aztecas, era más o menos la altura de un hombre, con una gran cabeza de madera sobre dos veces la longitud de la palma o más corto de los usuarios, con bordes afilados formados por navajas de obsidiana que fueron incrustadas en las ranuras talladas en la cabeza y cimentadas en su lugar con asfalto o resina vegetal como adhesivo. Esto hizo que el arma sea vagamente similar al macuahuitl, sin embargo, tenía un filo mucho más pequeño y un mango más largo. Esto le dio al arma un alcance superior, pero los golpes tenían que ser ejecutados con más cuidado.​ A medio camino entre una alabarda y una lanza, la tepoztopilli era igualmente útil para reducir radicalmente y empuje. El conquistador Bernal Díaz del Castillo, cita que en una ocasión su armadura fue atravesada por una lanza azteca y que sólo su grueso almohadillado interior de algodón le salvó la vida.[cita requerida] Por desgracia, la última tepoztopilli auténtica fue destruida en un incendio en 1884 en la Armería Real de Madrid, donde se alojaba junto con el último macuahuitl.

This made the tepoztopilli vaguely similar to the macuahuitl or "macana", however it had a much smaller cutting edge and a longer handle. The greater length gave the weapon a superior reach, allowing the user to stand behind a line of more experienced warriors and then "shove or jab the weapon" into an adversary. Halfway between a halberd and a spear, the tepoztopilli was equally useful for slashing and thrusting. Conquistador Bernal Díaz del Castillo mentions that on one occasion his armour was pierced by an Aztec lance and that only his thick cotton underpadding saved his life. The last authentic tepoztopilli was destroyed in a fire in 1884 in the Armería Real in Madrid where it was housed. (en)
