2 | "Stephanos" is "garland", more aptly? | Rev 6:2 | Morant61 | 11747 | ||
Greetings Salko! Yes, 'stephanos' would most likely refer to some kind of garland. Kittel's says the following about the use of crowns in the military: "8. The Army. The Spartans put on crowns before doing battle, perhaps in connection with sacrifice and as a sign of protection. In the Roman army the general wears a crown to purify the troops before battle. The goddess of victory is depicted with a crown, and there are crowns for the victors, whether of grass, oak leaves, or laurel. An ancient Roman custom is to offer prisoners for sale with crowns on; this possibly derives from a Germanic practice of sacrificing prisoners." I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
