What, if anything, is the difference between a
tainia and a
diadem?
This may seem to be a fairly basic question on the surface, but I think it
may be important to some people to be able to distinguish between the
two on at least a technical basic, where necessary.
Are the terms interchangeable? They both translate to be a band,
fillet,
or ribbon, but the terms are often used by the same scholars in the same
references, so there must be some kind of perceived difference.
I just don't know exactly what that is! Can you
help?
