Spice; club (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mace

This clue is a double definition.

'spice' is the first definition.
(I know that mace is a type of spice)

'club' is the second definition.
(mace can mean a club or stick)

(Other definitions for mace that I've seen before include "Staff of office and a spice" , "Tear gas - spice" , "Came to find ceremonial staff" , "put on the rack?" , "Spice; heavy club" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
