Lately a lot of pictures of the interiors of the US Capitol are shown on TV worldwide. I was struck by this features I circled in red:
They are associated to ancient Rome "Lictores" (i.e. plural of lictor). Do they remember something to the American People (other than the US Capitol)? Are they just a "whim" of an odd architect?
Can someone give some other possible explanation?
