Fasces (Period)
A fasces is an axe bound in a bundle of sticks (called a fascine in Latin). The fasces was the symbol of civil justice, dating from Roman times; it’s found in the arms of Cardinal Mazarin, 1601 [Parker 250]. Its association with 20th Century Fascists does not bar the fasces from Society use, though care should be taken. Its default orientation is palewise, as with the axe.
