EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to ancient Rome, where the authority of the Roman Republic was symbolized through the presence of the licteurs and their fasces. The licteurs, or lictors, were magistrates and officials who played a crucial role in the daily administration of justice and the maintenance of order in the Roman Republic. They were easily identifiable by their distinctive attire, which included a toga, a broad-brimmed straw hat, and a pilleus, a felt cap worn only by freedmen and slaves. In this photograph, we see a group of licteurs, each carrying a fasces, the symbol of their office. The fasces, a bundle of rods with an axe embedded in the center, was a potent symbol of the power and authority of the Roman magistrate. The axe represented the power to inflict capital punishment, while the rods signified the power to scourge and discipline. As the licteurs went about their duties, the fasces were carried before them, a constant reminder of their authority and the power they wielded. The presence of the fasces was intended to instill a sense of awe and respect in the population, ensuring that the rule of law was upheld and order maintained. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and symbolism of ancient Rome. The licteurs and their fasces are a reminder of a time when power was not only vested in the hands of a few but was also publicly displayed and acknowledged through the use of powerful symbols. This image is a must-have for anyone with an interest in ancient history, Roman culture, or the history of law and order.
