A Pompeian woman wearing a taenia girdle (painting by J.W. Godward, 1891)Coin of king Perseus of Macedon wearing a taenia or diadema headband
The tainia headband was worn with the traditional ancient Greek costume. The headbands were worn at Greek festivals.[1] The gods also bound their heads with tainiai.[2] Furthermore, cult images,[3] trees,[4] urns, monuments, animal sacrifices and the deceased[5] had tainiai wound around them. They were later adopted by the Romans.[6] A similar type of headband was the diadema, used as a symbol for kings.
