Description
Illustration of Roman crowns from the book "History of Costumes of Peoples Throughout the Centuries" by Paolo Lorenzini, Nerbini Publishing House, Florence, 1934. The crown of grass was for those who had saved a besieged or endangered army, the oak crown for those who had killed an enemy while saving a Roman, and the golden crown for those who had been the first to set foot on the walls of a besieged city, in an enemy camp, or on an enemy ship.
Illustrazione di corone romane per chi si distingueva con soldato o cittadino, dal libro "Storia del costume dei popoli attraverso i secoli" di Paolo Lorenzini, Casa Editrice Nerbini, Firenze, 1934. La corona di gramigna era per chi avesse salvato un esercito assediato o in grave pericolo, quella di quercia per chi avesse ucciso un nemico salvando un romano, quella d'oro per chi avesse messo per primo piede sulle mura di una città assediata, in un accampamento nemico o in una nave nemica.
