   In ancient times, diadems were commonly worn in various cultures and civilizations, such as ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

The diadem had a significant ceremonial and aesthetic function, distinguishing the wearer from ordinary individuals and highlighting their elevated status.

Etymology of DIADEM

The word "diadem" originates from the Greek word "diadēma" (διάδημα), which itself has roots in the verb "diadein" meaning "to bind around". In ancient Greece, a diadem referred to a type of band or ribbon worn as a symbol of royalty or authority, typically encircling the head and fastened in a knot or a bow. Over time, the concept of diadem extended to include various types of crowns, headbands, or jewels that conveyed regal status. The term has, therefore, evolved to specifically describe a jeweled headband or a crown, often adorned by monarchs or sovereigns.
