From the reports of the ancient Greeks, it appears that the Iranian variant also was a soft headdress and called a tiara. The Greeks identified one variant with their eastern neighbors and labeled it the &quot;Phrygian cap&quot;, sometimes ending in the head of a bird or animal. The Greek concept passed to the Romans. On Trajan&#039;s Column, which commemorated Trajan&#039;s epic wars with the Dacians, the Phrygian cap adorns the heads of Dacian warriors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here we see a pileus, which doesn&#039;t end in something like your coin:</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1592102[/ATTACH] </p><p>not my coin, just an example of a pileus from <a href="https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Pileus_(hat)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Pileus_(hat)" rel="nofollow">https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Pileus_(hat)</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just passing on to you my confusion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
