STRONGS G1238:
διάδημα, -τος, τό, (διαδέω, to bind round), a diadem, i. e. the blue band marked with white with which Persian kings used to bind on the turban or tiara; the kingly ornament for the head: Revelation 12:3; Revelation 13:1; Revelation 19:12. (Xenophon, Cyril 8, 3, 13; Esther 1:11; Esther 2:17 for כֶּתֶר; 1 Macc. 1:9.)
[Synonyms: διάδημα, στέφανος: στ. like the Latin corona is a crown in the sense of a chaplet, wreath, or garland—the badge of "victory in the games, of civic worth, of military valor, of nuptial joy, of festal gladness"; διάδημα is a crown as the badge of royalty, βαοιλείας γνώρισμα (Lucian, Pisc. 35). Cf. Trench § 23; Bp. Lightfoot on Phil. 4:1; Dictionary of Christian Antiquities under the word Coronation p. 464f; B. D. American edition under the word Diadem; but cf. στέφανος, a.]
