High ranking officials would be guarded by bodyguards called lictors; each lictor would carry a fasces. The higher ranking the official, the more lictors they had, so that everyone knew what rank they were.The fasces didn't suffer the publicity problems that the swastika suffered due to World War 2, and is still occasionally seen in the US. For example, the seal of the US Senate, the bureau in charge of the National Guard, and the chair that Lincoln sits on at the Lincoln Memorial- all feature a pair of fasces.
