Face:
Dark brown on light brown underprint. • Grain and Fasces with axe blade.
The symbol of sovereignty, a Fasces was a bundle of rods tied with cords, it dates back to ancient Rome. Roman Magistrates would be escorted through the crowds by a group of Lictors carrying Fasces. In the city itself the Fasces had no axe blade. It was only inserted outside the city when the Magistrate was endowed with
“Imperium”
. This was the official power of the Senate and People of Rome and not all Magistrates had it. It meant that the Magistrate had the power of life and death in his hands. Members of the College of Lictors were almost the only civil servants of Rome. The Magistrate could instruct a Lictor to unbundle his Rods and whip an unruly citizen.
