The illustrated companion to the Latin dictionary and Greek lexicon; forming a glossary of all the words representing visible objects connected with the arts, manufactures, and every-day life of the Greeks and Romans, with representations of nearly two thousand objects from the antique. FAS7 CI OLA. Diminutive ofFascia. A small bandage, or onemade of fine materials, for infants(Vopisc. Aurel. 4.) ; the head (Varro, v. 130.); feet and legs ( Resp. 21. Hor. Sat. ii. 3. 255.);as explained in the article Fascia. FASCIS (<paKe\os and 0a/ceAAos).Accurately, a packet of things, butmore especially wood (Hirt. B. 15. Tac. Ann. xiii. 35.), wattledtogether, and made up into a faggot orfascine, for the convenience of car-riage ; as in the illustration, from asepulchral painting of the Christianera ; and contradistinguished from. Sarcina, which is applied to suchthings as are wrapped up into a packor bundle. 2. In the plural. Fasces (at pd6-5oi). The fasces carried by thelictors before certain of the Romanmagistrates ; with which malefactorswere beaten before execu-tion. They consisted of anumber of rods cut fromthe birch (Plin. H. N. ), or elm tree ( iii. 2. 29.), wattledtogether, and bound roundwith thongs into the formof a fascine. During thereign of the kings, andunder the first years ofthe republic, an axe (secu-ris) was likewise insertedamongst the rods; but afterthe consulate of Publicola,no magistrate, except a dictator ( 18.) was permitted to use thefasces with an axe in the city ofRome (Cic. de Rep. ii. 31. Val. Max. 278 FASCIS. FASELUS. iv. I. 1.); the employment of bothtogether being restricted to the con-suls at the head of their armies ( 9.), and to the quaestors in theirprovinces. (Cic. Plane. 41.) The il-lustration affords an example of thefasces as they appear
