EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic symbol of Roman authority - the Fasces. Dating back to ancient times, this badge has been carried by lictors since the reign of Tarquin. The line engraving, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures the intricate details and historical significance of this emblem. The Fasces represents power and strength within the Roman Empire. Consisting of a bundle of rods bound together with an axe protruding from its center, it symbolizes unity and discipline under a strong central authority. Lictors were responsible for carrying these bundles before high-ranking officials as a visual reminder of their jurisdiction and ability to enforce laws. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness one of Rome's most enduring symbols. The precision and craftsmanship displayed in this engraving highlight both the artistic talent involved and the importance placed on preserving history. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how such a simple object could hold so much meaning within an empire that spanned centuries. It serves as a testament to Rome's lasting legacy and its influence on subsequent civilizations. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another fascinating glimpse into our past through their carefully curated collection – reminding us that even in today's modern world, echoes from ancient empires continue to resonate with profound significance.
