What’s the function if those sticks rounding the axe?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces
It’s a symbol of power (that the Romans inherited from the Etruscans). He’s handing it back, symbolizing his returning of his “complete power” back to the people.
But it’s have some function other that symbolic?
Yes. The sticks for beating, the axe for beheading. Corporal and capital punishment.
also fun fact: It’s the root word for “Fascism”
