Lictor

Bronze statuette of a Roman lictor carrying a fasces, 20 BC to 20 AD

A lictor (possibly from Latin ligare, meaning 'to bind') was a Roman civil servant who was an attendant and bodyguard to a magistrate who held imperium. Roman records describe lictors as having existed since the Roman Kingdom, and may have originated with the Etruscans.[1]
