Cincinnatus
I've added the image of Cincinnatus, but I'm not sure if it is too much for the page -- some people don't like multiple pictures in a small article. I thought it was a good illustration of the object; what do you think? Rdikeman 23:02, Apr 16, 2004 (UTC)

Cincinnatus is important.
I think the inclusion of Cincinnatus is important. What about including a link to or information about the Society of the Cincinnati ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.203.183.119 (talk • contribs) 12:08, 11 June 2005 (UTC)


 * Some text about the occasion in Cincinnatus' career and the significance of the portrayed gesture is essential. Anyone want to give this a paragraph? The connection between Roman Cincinnatus and the Society of the Cincinnati should be explained at Society of the Cincinnati, but not here at Fasces: too peripheral. --Wetman 18:34, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Alternative Fasces
I remember seeing an illustration of a fasces used as a papal symbol. It was from a book on the history of Christianity, whose name I have forgotten, but it was part of a frieze. The interesting this about this fasces was that it used a candle in place of an axe... Anyone know anything else about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.34.107 (talk • contribs) 03:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

List of Symbols Containing the Fasces
In the interest of keeping the main un-cluttered would it be a good idea to make a seperate article called "List of Symbols Containing Fasces"? I think it would be immensely helpful for resaerchers of symbolism to have a list of images containing the fascses (or any symbol for that matter), as a reference and also to be able to compare and contrast different usages. 24.18.35.120 01:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

It would keep the main page uncluttered. The Mace of the United States House of Reprensentatives is one historical example. GuitarTesseract (talk) 23:01, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

RIC IVa 422A
Hey there! I have yet another question about coins. Brennan, in Fasces (2022), cites the sestertius which shows the redesigned fasces as RIC IVa 422A (id at p 229 n 37; formatting verbatim). Do you know if we have an image of it? Happy holidays! Ifly6 (talk) 22:18, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
