The laurel wreath is a symbol of victory to the ancient Roman empire. Roman emperors and other high-ranking officials wore a laurel wreath as a crown to represent their achievements and status. For centuries, the Roman laurel wreath played a valuable part in the Roman empire. Still, today, many people wear a laurel wreath at parties and other festive events. You can create your own Roman laurel wreath to wear with your outfit with materials found at craft stores and florists at a low cost.
