part of the head is called the crown ... do we need something on that too?

Done on the page Crown (anatomy). No need to do it here also.

[edit] Worn by monarchs and gods only?

I can wear a crown if I wanted to, but that doesn't mean I'm either of those. --Dara July 8, 2005 01:26 (UTC)

Unless you are a multi-millionare, you couldn't afford one!

Ok. I was trying to get across that crowns are sometimes worn by actors to potray kings and such. I didn't catch it before in the article and I thought it should be added that (but I see there's no need now). :) Sorry about that. --Dara July 9, 2005 02:56 (UTC)

[edit] revelations

what was the crown worn by the horseman? anyone know the original word. I know the original language used 2 diff words each genericly translated as a crown in the english versions, much like the words for grapejuice and wine all lose thier distinctions and are just called wine in english tranlations. One type of crown was for rulers and the other for victors but i don,t know thier names and wich one he wore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.147.54 (talk) 17:53, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Constantine's adoption of the diadem as precursor to the crown?

This wood-painting of Septimius Severus' family shows both Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla with a headgear that very much resembles other precursors to the modern crown. Any comments on this?

An even more evident example is the headgear displayed in the statue dedicated to the four tetrarchs, slightly before Constantine's rise to power:
