Synopsis
Symbols of authority have appeared in the earliest communities of mankind. It would seem that as soon as two or three men came together, one of them would make up a stone, a stick or a deer antler as a gesture of his ascendancy. This book describes the development of those early evidences of personal power into the glittering symbols of sovereignty - the crowns, swords and sceptres - the most beautiful and priceless regalia in the world, seen by millions of visitors to the Tower of London and Edinburgh Castle every year.
