Tiaras
TIARAS also known as DIADEMS.
The wearing of a diadem as a mark of nobility or royalty is
an extremely ancient custom, and the forms which diadems have
assumed are so diverse that it is very difficult to generalize
about them or to trace a continuous line of development. The
diadems of some of the Eastern Kings in ancient times were
extremely ornate and heavy, while in classical times supreme
power was often denoted in the simplest way - by a band of
cloth worn round the head and tied in a knot behind. When
Gibbon says of Diocletian that he "ventured to assume the
diadem", the diadem in question was only a fillet of white
cloth set with pearls. Yet much richer head dresses had been
worn at an earlier date, notably by the Egyptians.
