Roman Crowns

• Corona Graminea

  Grass Crown
  Made from grass of the battlefield for saving an entire legion/army.

• Corona Civica

  State Crown
  Oak leaves for saving lives (ob cives servatos) ["The Imperial Reliefs from the Sebasteion at Aphrodisias," by R. R. R. Smith; The Journal of Roman Studies (1987), pp. 88-138.] and holding ground in battle. A gilded corona civica was given to the triumphator. From the time of Claudius, the corona civica became an imperial attribute. Since the oak was sacred to Jupiter, giving the crown to emperors implied Jupiter's sanction.
