mural crown

The crown is an emblem of victory, sovereignty, and empire. It is a visible sign of success, thus the term "crowning achievement," and its significance as the decoration of the ultimate level of rank and power, makes bearing the crown a great honour. Crowns are also sometimes symbols of God, as he is considered by some to be the “King of all.” The word crown, blazoned without any additional details, usually implies a ducal coronet without a cap. The mural crown is plain gold circlet of battlements on a narrow rim. It is supposed to have been given by the Romans to the soldier that first mounted the breach in the walls of a town or fortress. It would also apply to the defender of a fortress or be an appropriate token of civic honour.
