Young Brunette Girl With Natural Breasts Wearing Floral Wreath With Pink Roses

The wreath is associated with Greek attire and celebrations since ancient times, continuing a tradition to the modern day Olympic ceremonies. Ancient coinage minted by early Greek city-states often depicted a goddess or other figure with a wreath. For example, on certain early coins of ancient Kydonia, Crete, the goddess Britomartis was struck wearing a wreath of grapevines.
Ancient Rome
Wreaths were also part of clothing in Rome. Laurel wreaths were used by military and public officials in parades. Wreaths made out of olive leaves were worn by consuls and senators. During a period of the ancient Roman civilisation, it was a custom for soldiers rescued from a siege to present a wreath made of grass to the commander of the rescuing force.
