Professor Reames, I was looking at the so called burial crown of Philip and I was wondering what’s the relation between that type of crown and the diadem?

Crowns, Diadems, and Headbands

None. They're two different things. First, "crowns" are typically made of plant stems woven together. Later, gold versions of this appear, like the crown in Royal Tomb II. (As you suggest with "so-called," that is probably not Philip's Tomb, whatever tags Greece or the media place on it. Why is a long, detailed story I don't have time to get into but there's literally years' worth of publishing about the identity of the bones in Royal Tombs I and II.)

These gold burial crowns are found ALL OVER the north/Balkan area by the Hellenistic period, but they show up before that (the ossuary of the Spartan general Brasidas at Amphipolis had one). This crown below is from the ginormous tomb of Seuthes III of Thrace, and looked to both Ann and I like a "I can do it bigger and better!" to the Macedonian vault tombs. It dates to the early Hellenistic period. The gold out of that tomb (found in the Kasanlak Museum) is impressive. But you'll see these things a lot. The one from Royal Tomb II is distinctive mostly by its size and attention to detail.

Crowns served lots of purposes. The four big atheletic Games in ancient Greece, including the Olympics and Pythian, were called "stephanic" because the only prize the winner got was a crown. (And not a gold one, either; it was either olive, laurel, pine, or wild celery, depending on the Contest.) It was the HONOR associated with the crown that mattered. (Stephanos = "crown" in Greek, if you or one of your friends is named "Stephen/Steven" or any variation.)

Anyway, crowns show up in all sorts of contexts from drinking parties (symposia) to burials--as with Tomb II. They don't imply anything royal, although they do usually imply some sort of honoring or "dressing up."

"Diadema" just means a headband. We see these all over, even before Alexander. It was designed to keep hair out of your face, often during sports, and might be made of leather or ribbon or some other flexible substance. The first image shows a guy tying one ... the ends are what he's holding in his hands. The pieces broke off the statue, so all that's left is what's around his head and what's in his hands. The second shows in marble the cloth back tie. Many statues had diadems attached in some other material that has since been lost. Remember, these statues were all painted and sometimes had "added bits" like semi-precious stones for eyes, or gold crowns, that later disappeared. So if you see an indention around the crown of a Greek (or Roman) statue? It's missing its diadem!

It was repurposed as women's jewelry too. See below. These start becoming prominent in the Hellenistic Era after ATG, but we do find them earlier, as noted. The diadem as a ROYAL symbol gets connected via Alexander, and then his Successors. (Coin of Antiochus below with his father Seleukos I's image in diadem.)

The diadem as ROYAL symbol seems to be specifically ancient near eastern. The Persian Great King employed it as sort of "action crown," different from the upright tiara that would fall off if he had to move around much (like fight). The Persian royal diadem was either white and blue striped or white and purple striped cloth, and was tied around the head so that the ends dangled.

Apparently, Alexander adopted it instead of the upright tiara (whether he really never wore the tiara is debated). Sometimes, he tied it around his hat (presumably the kausia, a special Macedonian hat that looked kinda like an ancient beret, but there doesn't seem much room on that for a band, so maybe a petasos, or floppy straw sunhat).

Anyway, the gold-covered silver circlet in Royal Tomb II at Vergina is a dressed up version, and one (of several) reasons people have argued it's not Philip's tomb. It's very unclear that the king used a diadem in Macedonia before Alexander. I'd argue they didn't, but admit we lack much evidence either way, except literary.

So while you wear both a crown and a diadem on the ol' noggin', these are two different objects. The later conflation of "crown" with "diadem" = a symbol of royalty, is medieval, or at most, late Roman.

pre-emptive caveat to say obviously most protestants aren't this unhinged, just the circles I run in on facebook tend to have more unhinged protestants than catholics.

That being said, the protestant women that I see online are 10x's more wild than the catholic women I see. The latest being "split ends didn't exist before the fall, and so the only reason I cut my hair is to trim off split ends. They won't exist in heaven" like wot???? wot mate???? what are you saying??????

7 Tips on How to Wear a Headband with Short Hair

Short hair looks cool, bold, and stylish without much effort—but figuring out how to dress it up can be tricky at times. That's where the headband comes in handy. This classic accessory adds a bit of class, shows off your personality, and has practical uses too for short hairstyles. If you want to know how to use headbands with short hair, check out these 7 tips for easy-to-create looks.

1. Choose the Right Headband

Begin with a headband that suits your style and sits on your head. Hand-crafted friendly headbands—such as the 100% yak wool options from Heavenly Himalayan—make great picks. These sustainable and sweat-absorbing accessories are made with care and intention helping skilled craftspeople in Nepal.

Why Handmade Matters

Hand-crafted headbands stand out often showcasing detailed patterns that boost your look. Choosing natural wool headbands ensures comfort and allows your skin to breathe making them ideal to wear all day.

2. Play with Textures and Colors

Short hair gives you a great base to play with bold headbands. Pick headbands made of natural wool in simple shades like white, black, or gray for a clean look, or choose ones with bright patterns to liven things up. The feel of wool headbands can also give your style more depth and texture.

Styling Tip

Coordinate your headband with your outfit to create a cohesive look. For example, pair a black wool headband with a monochrome outfit for understated elegance.

3. Positioning is Key

The placement of your headband can dramatically change your look:

Forehead Band: For a bohemian vibe, position the headband across your forehead.

Crown Placement: Place it at the crown of your head for a classic and polished look.

Behind the Ears: Tuck the headband behind your ears for a casual, sporty appearance.

Experiment

Try different positions to see what flatters your face shape and hair length best.

4. Pair with Bangs

Headbands can draw attention to your bangs. Put the headband right behind your bangs to frame your face nicely. A headband can boost the impact of your bangs, no matter if they're blunt or swept to the side.

Pro Tip

Choose a slim wool headband to keep the spotlight on your hairstyle without overshadowing your bangs.

5. Create Volume

Short hair doesn’t mean flat hair! Use a headband to create volume by:

Backcombing the hair at the crown.

Using a headband with a slightly padded or textured design.

Styling your hair with a bit of mousse or texturizing spray before adding the headband.

Why It Works

Volume adds a touch of drama and makes the headband stand out as a statement accessory.

6. Layer with Other Accessories

To step up your look, pair your headband with little hair clips or pins. This combo works great for fancy events or when you want to make a strong fashion statement.

Sustainable Tip

Opt for eco-friendly accessories to align with your values while keeping your style on point.

7. Keep It Functional

Headbands are not just decorative; they can also serve practical purposes:

Use them during workouts to keep hair off your face.

Wear moisture-wicking wool headbands to stay comfortable during outdoor activities.
