Description
The coronation jewels are among the most important symbols of the state, and we still honor and admire them today. Their history dates back to prehistoric times and antiquity, when they gradually transformed from simple symbols of power of tribal leaders into a thoughtful series of "regalia" with precisely defined meanings. The royal or imperial crown was first complemented in ancient Egypt and Rome by a scepter, and in the Middle Ages by the imperial apple, state sword, coronation cross, or robe. This book provides an overview of the history of more than thirty coronation jewels and their countries, and introduces the fates of the monarchs who were most involved with them. It also offers information about their artistic representation, the course of coronations, and the main royal residences.
