See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces section Rome > Imperial Period
Has any credible expert ever supported the claim that "Ceasar’s rome was fascist in name and ideology"
that only seems to talk about the use of the fasces as a symbol, which is pretty different from explicitly calling oneselves fascists, or holding specifically fascist beliefs. the same article lists a ton of other places one can find fasces. the symbol is much older than the ideology, but that doesn't mean anything using the symbol shares the ideology.
