Roman Republic, A. Postumius A.f. Sp.n. Albinus, c. 81 B.C.
|99-50| |B.C.|, |Roman| |Republic,| |A.| |Postumius| |A.f.| |Sp.n.| |Albinus,| |c.| |81| |B.C.|, Refers to the praetorship of L. Postumius Albinus over Spain and his successful expeditions against the Vaccaei and Lusitani, and the levying of troops for this campaign.

A fasces is a bound bundle of wooden rods, sometimes including an axe with its blade emerging. It was a Roman symbol of a magistrate's power and jurisdiction. The image has survived in the modern world as a symbol of law and governance. It was the origin of the name of Mussolini's National Fascist Party in Italy (from which the term fascism is derived). It is on the reverse of the U.S. Mercury dime and behind the podium in the U.S. House of Representatives.
