Fasces are ceremonial axes used during the Roman Empire to represent high social status when traveling, the more fasces a person had, the higher their social status.
The Trials of Apollo
The Tyrant's Tomb
Commodus and Caligula use their own fasces to keep Harpocrates imprisoned at Sutro Tower. They are destroyed by Meg McCaffrey and Reyna Ramírez-Arellano to free the silent god. By doing so, the emperors were severely weakened to the point where they soon died in an explosion hours later.
Trivia
- Fascism, a form of far-right wing authoritarian dictatorship, is derived from the name of the axes.
