The Fasces: A History of Ancient Rome's Most Dangerous Political Symbol
Brennan, T. Corey (Professor, Professor, Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences)
In ancient Rome, the fasces were a bundle of wooden rods bound with a leather cord, in which an axe was placed--in essence, a mobile kit for corporal or capital punishment. This book is the first attempt to explain in detail precisely how the ancient Romans made a familiar and highly effective spectacle of the fasces, and then how later generations understood, used, and abused this symbol.
