InAncient Rome, acamp crown (Latin:corona castrensis, "crown of thecastrum"), also known as a vallary crown, was amilitary award given to the first man who penetrated into an enemy camp or field during combat. It took the form of a goldcrown surmounted with replicas of the stakes of apalisade (a high fence consisting of pointed stakes).[1]
In theheraldry of a few units in modern armies, a camp crown is mounted as a crest on top of the shield of the coat of arms or emblem.
The Palisado crown, a variant used inEnglish heraldry, is defined bypalisades affixed to the outside of the rim.
