[7] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

crown
   1. denotes the plate of gold in the front of the high priest's
   mitre ex. 29:6; 39:30. the same hebrew word so rendered
   ne'zer denotes the diadem worn by saul in battle 2 sam.
   1:10, and also that which was used at the coronation of joash
   2 kings 11:12.
   
     2. the more general name in hebrew for a crown is _'atarah_,
   meaning a "circlet." this is used of crowns and head ornaments
   of divers kinds, including royal crowns. such was the crown
   taken from the king of ammon by david 2 sam. 12:30. the crown
   worn by the assyrian kings was a high mitre, sometimes adorned
   with flowers. there are sculptures also representing the crowns
   worn by the early egyptian and persian kings. sometimes a diadem
   surrounded the royal head-dress of two or three fillets. this
   probably signified that the wearer had dominion over two or
   three countries. in rev. 12:3; 13:1, we read of "many crowns," a
   token of extended dominion.
   
     3. the ancient persian crown esther 1:11; 2:17; 6:8 was
   called _kether_; i.e., "a chaplet," a high cap or tiara. crowns
   were worn sometimes to represent honour and power ezek. 23:42.
   they were worn at marriages cant. 3:11; isa. 61:10,
   "ornaments;" r.v., "a garland", and at feasts and public
   festivals.
   
     the crown was among the romans and greeks a symbol of victory
   and reward. the crown or wreath worn by the victors in the
   olympic games was made of leaves of the wild olive; in the
   pythian games, of laurel; in the nemean games, of parsley; and
   in the isthmian games, of the pine. the romans bestowed the
   "civic crown" on him who saved the life of a citizen. it was
   made of the leaves of the oak. in opposition to all these fading
   crowns the apostles speak of the incorruptible crown, the crown
   of life james 1:12; rev. 2:10 "that fadeth not away" 1 pet.
   5:4, gr. amarantinos; comp. 1:4. probably the word "amaranth"
   was applied to flowers we call "everlasting," the "immortal
   amaranth."
   

[8] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
