单词	lictor
释义	lictor /ˈlɪktə / noun (In ancient Rome) an officer attending the consul or other magistrate, bearing the fasces, and executing sentence on offenders.Like the fasces carried by Roman lictors, weaving, in which separate strands are plaited together to form a new and far more robust entity, becomes the embodiment of communal strength and unity of purpose.... The fasces of Italian fascism are nicked from the fasces carried by the lictors, symbolising the unity of the Roman people. The very word ‘Fascism’ is an allusion to the tied-up bundle of rods (the fasces) that the lictors of ancient Rome bore as a visible symbol of the united strength of the Roman people. Origin Latin, perhaps related to ligare 'to bind'.
