I wouldn&#039;t count that as a representation of France proper. Back then the Phrygian cap was often associated with barbarian garb; today it is more of a symbol of emancipation from the old regime. The republic has always been fond of such pre-Christian references, for obvious reasons[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
