Fasces symbolise summary power and jurisdiction. The word is the plural of the Latin word fascis, meaning bundle. Traditional Roman fasces were bundles of birch rods tied together with a red ribbon to form a cylinder around an axe. Many western governments have used fasces as symbols of power.
Italian Fascists took their name from the Fascis, but the symbolism is much greater and fasces have avoided much of the stigma associated with twentieth century fascism.
Roman fasces looked like the ones on the far left, with the axe head sticking out from the bundle, but most modern representations show the act, sometimes double headed, projecting from the top of the bundle, as shown on the right. The picture on the far left is a photograph of a roman tomb. The one next to it is a modern reproduction - less neatly bound it has to be said.
