<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 2895279, member: 88829&quot;]The word &quot;stephane&quot; (pronounced ste-fa-nay&#039;) comes into English from the feminine form of the Greek word stephanos, which means &quot;crown&quot; as does the name Stephen.&nbsp; A diadem, as opposed to a crown, is an ornamental headband, emblematic of high office, but worn for less formal occasions not involving rulings of the high official.&nbsp; For matters of state the full weight of a/the crown is endured.&nbsp; In the lrb period, the coins of Constantius II often depict him wearing a pearl or rosette diadem, whereas certain issues of Theodosius depict the full imperial crown of his day.&nbsp; Different messages for different times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
