Laurel Wreath [Silver]

Designed after archaeological findings, and adapted for roman roleplay, this wreath is a fine craftwork of sculpted laurel leaves and ancient silver.

There were several different types of crowns and wreaths that were bestowed when a great Roman was awarded a Triumph. A Triumph was recognized as the summit of military glory, and was the cherished object of ambition to every Roman general and displayed during his parade.

Corona Triumphalis (triumphal crown) was made with laurel or bay leaves and the most honourable of triumphal awards. This crown was worn on the head.

Another type of crown was also conferred to a victorious general which was made of gold and often adorned with jewels.

The wreath is resize scripted.The scripts can self-delete after resizing, if desired, to eliminate all lag.

Trident jewels and clothing are inspired by passion for medieval, ancient, ethnic and tribal jewelry and costumes.Each design combines creativity with careful research of museum replicas, archaeological findings and study of their historical symbolism.
