Greater Glory Goods Ancient Roman fasces/Italian Fascist SPQR Standard/Caesar Of Rome Pin/Brooch

This piece has nice detail and is solidly built. I used it as a necklace by grinding off the back posts.

You cannot do better representing Ancient Rome than to be sporting a ‘fasces’ pin, as either a lapel pin or a hat pin. It has 2 posts on the back of it, so, once in place, it will not be spinning around on you.The fasces was a bundle of rods with an ax head in it, used by the lictors, bodyguards of the consuls. The ax head was permitted only outside the city of Rome, because it meant that the lictors had the power to execute anyone trying to bother the consul. Inside the city the ax head was removed, meaning the lictors only had the authority to inflict corporal punishment on wrongdoers, opposed to the authority of capital punishment elsewhere.

This was a gift for someone and they absolutely loved it. It feels nice and heavy for its size and is really nice quality. We're both very pleased with this purchase.

Heavyweight and well worth the money.

Very nice 👍

please be aware that this symbol has taken on more meaning than just "Rome". If you don't make it clear that you're using it in the Anceint Roman context, then you might end up attracting some negative attention.
