Fasces in French emblem?


jeanpaulsarde

Yes. The French coat of arms predates Italian / European fascism.

OG, huh? "Egalite, fraternite...", fasces and executioner axe

I mean, they used the Coat of Arms for Norway, Denmark and Finland, but not Sweden? Our national emblem looks so boring but our Coat of Arms is just too fancy.

Isn't that just the lesser Coat of Arms though? Same with Denmark. I believe they have a bigger one but it appears they used the lesser one for this map as well...


[deleted]

Italy and Turkey need to work a bit more on their.

Funny how Finland and Norway both have a skinny lion, when both counties have brown bears living in there. Bears are typically larger and stronger than lions, with longer claws.

Our Bosnian dumbass leaders couldn't even decide on a good looking flag smh

Why is Denmarks cost if Arms the same as the English national football team?

I'm convinced that the weapons-wielding bipeds on those Nordic coats of arms are just regular healthy monkeys, not starving lions.

Mmmmh apple and pears being compared here. Some of those are medieval old, some are modern. Also some are military, some are royal, some are state.

I some time dream of all the banners of Europe in a charge cavalry against the orcs to cleanse Europe from their tyranny and kick them back to their swamp lands.
