The fascio littorio was, in ancient Rome, a symbol of power and strengh brought by heroic soldiers (they had to have been injured in fight) during the triumphs (public celebrations held in Rome after a military conquer).

It is a sort of cylinder, made of wood branches tied together around an axe.

In the 1920s it became the symbol of italian Fascism.
