The term “wreath” derives from the Old English word “writhan,” meaning “to twist,” and wreaths have been associated with a number of cultures over the generations. Wreaths are thought to date back to the Persian Empire, ancient Egypt, and ancient Greece, but their function during those periods is different from the way they are commonly used today. Wreaths called diadems were a symbol of influence or legitimacy worn as headdresses in the Persian Empire. They were made of textiles, embellished with jewels, and mostly worn by royalty. A type of wreath was often worn by ancient Egyptians as a headdress, but theirs was made of flowers and called a chaplet. Wreaths made of laurel were worn by emperors in Greece and Rome and awarded as a badge of merit to warriors and others. In addition, the Romans honored victorious athletes and even poets with olive leaves and laurel wreaths. Wreaths were hung on doors as well and are considered to have been tokens of triumph.
