The Roman magistrates all had civil servants or bodyguards called lictors. (The higher the office, the more lictors) These lictors carried bundles of rods called "fasces". Tied up inside these rods was an ax with its head visible. These fasces symbolized authority, the rods representing punishment and the ax representing the death penalty. For the most part the lictors were ceremonial, but when accompanying a magistrate through the streets, the lictors were the ones who cleared the way for him, using their fasces in a manner similar to our police force using their riot shields.
