Despite centuries of debates on its origins and function, Moctezuma’s headdress remains an iconic artifact when it comes to Aztec history. While tradition points to the headdress belonging to Moctezuma II, emperor of the Aztecs, historians today are unsure. It’s clear, however, this item held great importance on both a political and religious level. The headdress can be viewed at Weltmuseum in Vienna, Austria. © Yurasova | Dreamstime.com

Head to the Residenz palace in Munich, Germany, to take in the glittering Bavarian Crown Jewels. These items were used between 1806 and 1918.

Although not a royal crown, the Iron Crown of Lombardy, Italy, was just as important of a symbol. This crown, within Duomo of Monza, was a reliquary votive crown and considered one of the oldest royal insignia in Christendom. The crown dates to the Middle Ages and was occasionally used as regalia for coronations of Holy Roman Emperors as kings of Italy. © Wirestock | Dreamstime.com

Kings, queens and nobles during the Silla period in Korea (57 B.C.E. – 935 A.D.) donned these spectacular headpieces as a sign of power.
