Crown Of Zvonimir (Croatia)
A crown is a traditional form of head adornment, or hat, worn by monarchs as a symbol of their power and dignity. A crown is often, by extension, a symbol of the monarch's government or items endorsed by it. The word itself is used, particularly in Commonwealth countries, as an abstract name for the monarchy itself (and, by extension, the state of which said monarch is head) as distinct from the individual who inhabits it (that is, ''The Crown''). A specific type of crown (or coronet for lower ranks of peerage) is employed in heraldry under strict rules. Indeed, some monarchies never had a physical crown, just a heraldic representation, as in the constitutional kingdom of Belgium. Variations * Costume headgear imitating a monarch's crown is also called a crown hat. Such costume crowns may be worn by actors portraying a monarch, people at costume parties, or ritual "monarchs" such as the king of a Carnival krewe, or the person who found the trinket in a king cake. * The ...

Deditio
In ancient Rome, ''deditio'' was the surrender of an enemy community, resulting in the annexation of its territory. The people of the community became '' peregrini dediticii'', free noncitizens under Roman rule. The Augustan-era historian Livy narrates an early example of ''deditio'' from Rome's semilegendary Regal period, when Tarquinius Priscus defeated the Collatini. When asked "Do you surrender yourselves and the people of Collatia, city ''(urbs)'', lands ''(agri)'', water ''(aqua)'', boundary marks ''(termini)'', shrines ''( delubra)'', utensils ''(utensilia)'', and all appurtenances divine and human ''(divina humanque omnnia)'', into my power ''(dicio)'' and that of the Roman people?" the Collatini replied in the affirmative. Although Rome claimed rights to the lands and property of the defeated, restitution might be made to some individuals or to the conquered people as a whole. Those who had surrendered ''(dediticii)'' under these terms were not to be enslaved, as war cap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
