Although the symbol was adopted by the [[Fascists]], it does not in itself signify fascism. Rather, as a result of the use of the symbol in the [[Roman Republic]], it stands for the equitable division of the power of government, to prevent abuse and encourage responsible leadership. In the United States House of Representatives, a fasces symbol appears on each side of the American flag, and old U. S. dimes, with a picture of the god Mercury on the front, have a design including a fasces on the back.
