Image Roman Lictor Clothes.png thumb Lictor holding fasces , drawn by Cesare Vecellio 1860 Roman government The lictor possibly from lang la ligare , to bind was a member of a special class of Rome Roman civil servant, with special tasks of attending and guarding magistrates of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire Empire who held imperium Clarify date July 2010 essentially, a bodyguard . The origin of the tradition of lictors goes back to the time when Rome was a kingdom, perhaps acquired from their Etruria Etruscan neighbours. Origin According to Livy , lictors were first introduced by Rome s first king, Romulus , who appointed twelve lictors to attend his majesty. Livy refers to two competing traditions for the reason Romulus chose that number of lictors. The first version is that twelve was the number of birds that appeared in the augury which had portended the kingdom to Romulus. The second version, favoured by Livy, is that the number of lictors was borrowed from the Etruscan kings, who had one lictor appointed from each of their twelve states. ref Livy , Ab urbe condita , 1 8 ref Eligibility Originally, lictors were chosen from the plebs but through most part of the Roman history they seemed to be freedman freedmen . They were, however, definitely Roman citizens, since they wore toga e inside Rome. A lictor had to be a strongly built man, capable of physical work. Lictors were exempted from military service, received a fixed salary of 600 sestertius sesterces , in the beginning of the Empire , and were organized in a corporation. Usually, they were personally chosen by the magistrate they were supposed to serve, but it is also possible that they were drawn by lots.
