History of the Fasces

It is great to finally be back! Sorry for the delay. It was a hard spring and a overly hot summer. In this episode I handle the story of the fascis, or fasces in plural. The iconic symbol of a bundle of rods often seen both in ancient art, and in modern emblems. I felt a bit rusty honestly, but I will be back on a better level quite soon! Ancient History makes illustrated short documentaries about the history of the ancient world – from the beginning of civilization to the fall of western Rome. (However, I don’t guarantee that I won’t do some excursions to the Byzantines and other intriguing aspects.) All narrated material is original unless stated differently. Anyone working on our scripts has an academic degree relevant for the subject. Photos are generally from public domain.
