Ceaser's crown?

Question

what was that leaf crown thing that Julius Ceaser always wore called??

Answer 1

The Civic Crown (Latin: corona civica) was a chaplet of common oak leaves woven to form a crown. During the Roman Republic, and the subsequent Principate, it was regarded as the second highest military decoration a citizen could aspire to (the Grass Crown being held in higher regard)

Answer 2

Because Caesar became the first Emperor of Rome. He did away with the Republic and paved the way for Empire. He was a great conqueror...a genius. The Senate were afraid and jealous of his power...they had to get rid of him. They stabbed him to death. Yet his nephew took the reins of power and called himself Caesar Agustus. He brought Rome to its Golden Age and Pax Romana. His rule unified the nations and Jesus was born during that time and christianity spread throughout the Empire.

Answer 3

It was a wreath, usually made out of laurel leaves. It was a sign of gratitude for military victories for the Republic of Rome. Republics, of course, don't have crowns, so the laurel wreath was the award for victories.
