A laurel wreath is a circular
wreath made of interlocking branches and leaves of the bay laurel (Laurus
nobilis), an aromatic broadleaf evergreen, or later from spineless butcher's
broom (Ruscus hypoglossum) or cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus). In Greek
mythology , Apollo is represented wearing a laurel wreath on his head. In
ancient Greece wreaths were awarded to victors, both in athletic competitions,
including the ancient Olympics made of wild olive-tree


Flavius Arcadius (377/378–1 May 408) was Byzantine Emperor in the Eastern half
