This last word means garland, braided, as a sign of victory in games, in war, or as a sign of festivity and nuptial joy, and it is not translated diadem. It is unknown how the diadems were among the Jews. From the texts cited it is clear that they were used as: (a) royal insignia; (b) the diadem of the high priest; (c) the male or female ornament, worn on the head. Among the other ancient nations, the diadem was a kind of silk turban of about 5 cm. wide, that surrounded the head, and was knotted behind. It was generally white, or sometimes blue, like Darío’s, and embellished with rhinestones or other jewels. (See TURBAN).

diadem (diavdhma, 1238), is derived from diadeo, to tie around. It was the royal ornament for the head and was used especially from the blue band marked with white, used to bind the turban or tiara of the kings of Persia. It was adopted by Alexander the Great and his successors. Among the Greeks and Romans it was the distinguishing mark of royal status. Diocletian was the first Roman emperor to use it constantly. This word is used in Rev 12:3; 13.1; 19.12, symbolizing in all these passages, respectively, the rule of the Dragon, of the Beast and of Christ.¶ In the LXX, Est 1:11; 2.17; in some ms. at 6.8 and 8.15; also at Isa 62:3:¶ For the distinction between diadem and stephanos, see CROWN.
