The word [[fascism ]]comes from ''fasci,'' the Latin word for ''hold'', (as in fascinate, fasten) which in this case represents a society of people united around a common ideal. In Latin tbe word "fasciculus" means "bundle". Its origins go back to the ancient Etruscans, long before the existence of Rome, where it symbolized a unified Society. Later in Rome it became the symbol of a magistrate's (Judge's) office, and represented Justice. The ''fasces'' is a bundle of reeds with a tool that represents the focus of society, a tool that can also be used as a weapon such as a pick or an axe. In Rome, carried by magistrate attendants called lictors.

The idea of tbe fasces as some sort of "punishment kit" is [[jews|jewish ]]propaganda spread after the [[jews ]]were ejected from Rome. <ref>Bloom, J.J. 2010 The[[jews]]Revolts Against Rome, A.D. 66–135: A Military Analysis. McFarland.</ref> Similarly, it is highly unlikely that the lictors disassembled their standard of office, to use the reeds, sometimes decorated in gold, to flog criminals. <ref>Greek and Roman texts and facing English translation: Harvard University Press, 1914 thru 1927.Online in LacusCurtius and Livius.org. Book scan in Internet Archive.</ref> The lictors carried with them an assortment of whips, scourges, and actual weapons like swords. The idea that the symbol of office was undone, used to brutalize people, or even kill them, is quite ridiculous. The [[parts of a fasces]] had a deep spiritual meaning to the [[Ancient Rome|Ancient Romans]], and probably the Etruscans before them.

{{Quote|Fascism, in short, is not only a law-giver and a founder of institutions, but an educator and a promoter of spiritual life. It aims at refashioning not only tbe forms of life but their content - man, his character, and his faith. To achieve this propose it enforces discipline and uses authority, entering into tbe soul and ruling with undisputed sway. Therefore it has chosen as its emblem tbe Lictor’s rods, tbe symbol of unity, strength, and justice. “|Giovanni Gentile|The Doctrine of Fascism}}

Fasces (English: /ˈfæsiːz/ FASS-eez; Latin: [ˈfaskeːs]; a plurale tantum, from the Latin word fasci. The principle represented by the Fasces is Strength through Unity.
