it is a Laurel wreath
A laurel wreath is a circular wreath made of interlocking branches and leaves of the Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis, Lauraceae), an aromatic deciduous evergreen. In Greek mythology, Apollo is represented wearing a laurel wreath on his head. In ancient Greece wreaths were awarded to victors, both in athletic competitions, including the ancient Olympics, and in poetic meets; in Rome they were symbols of military victory, crowning a successful commander during his triumph. Whereas ancient laurel wreaths are depicted as a horseshoe shape, modern versions are usually complete rings.
In common modern idiomatic usage it refers to a victory. The expression "resting on one's laurels" refers to someone relying on their past success to cover up their current shoddy efforts.

It would be a crown of laurel leaves. It's also called bay laurel and is commonly used in cooking as "bay leaves". It has a strong pungent odor and was used to symbolize success and royalty as well as used as a type of deodorant. Today, some men still use a concoction called, "Bay Rum" as an after shave balm, which is an alcohol-based solution of the oil of bay leaves. P.S. One quick note...Julius Caesar was Roman, not Greek. .
