To the Romans, a laurel wreath was a symbol of victory in war. Laurel wreaths were worn by triumphatores: victorious generals celebrating a Roman triumph. On Roman coins or statues, the Emperor is often depicted wearing a laurel wreath as a symbol of power.

Emperor Maxentius: Roman Emperor 306-312 AD, son of Emperor Maximian and son-in-law of Emperor Galerius.

Maxentius's rule was marked by conflicts and rivalries with other Roman emperors, including his father Maximian, his father-in-law Galerius, and Constantine the Great. These conflicts led to a series of civil wars in the Roman Empire.

Maxentius died during the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. According to historical accounts, he either drowned in the Tiber River while attempting to escape or was killed in the battle.

In 2006, Italian archaeologists discovered wooden boxes near the Palatine Hill, including lances, javelins and spheres of glass and chalcedony. The most important find was a sceptre of a flower holding a blue-green globe. This is believed to have belonged to Emperor Maxentius himself and was possibly hidden by Maxentius' supporters after his defeat at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge.
