Diadem
A diadem is a type of crown, specifically an ornamental headband worn by monarchs and others as a badge of royalty. Overview The word derives from the Greek διάδημα ''diádēma'', "band" or "fillet", from διαδέω ''diadéō'', "I bind round", or "I fasten". The term originally referred to the embroidered white silk ribbon, ending in a knot and two fringed strips often draped over the shoulders, that surrounded the head of the king to denote his authority. Such ribbons were also used to crown victorious athletes in important sports games in antiquity. It was later applied to a metal crown, generally in a circular or "fillet" shape. For example, the crown worn by Queen Juliana of the Netherlands was a diadem, as was that of a baron later (in some countries surmounted by three globes). The ancient Celts were believed to have used a thin, semioval gold plate called a ''mind'' (Old Irish) as a diadem. Some of the earliest examples of these types of crowns can be found in ...

Diadema (sea Urchin)
''Diadema'' is a genus of sea urchins of the family Diadematidae. Characteristics It is one of the most abundant, widespread, and ecologically important shallow water genera of tropical sea urchins. It is found in all tropical oceans, although is ubiquitous in the Indo-Pacific region, where it inhabits depths down to 70 m. However each species inhabits roughly separate areas of ocean. Speciation within the genus can be difficult to confirm, partly due to hybridisation, which is at least known to occur between ''Diadema savignyi'' and '' Diadema setosum''. The species vary in types of sea bed they inhabit, with ''Diadema savignyi'' inhabiting sandy beds and back reef where damaged; while ''Diadema setosum'' can also commonly be found among seagrass. Fossil record The fossil record of ''Diadema'' is extremely poor, consisting only of spines that possibly belong to the genus, some of which go back to the Miocene, 5 to 25 million years ago. Species list According to World ...
