•  Phrygian cap

  The Phrygian cap is a soft conical cap with the top pulled forward, associated in antiquity with the peoples of Anatolia, whence the name "Phrygian", a province in central Asia Minor. In the western provinces of the Roman Empire it came to signify freedom and the pursuit of liberty, perhaps through a confusion with the pileus, the manumitted slave's felt cap of ancient Rome. Accordingly, the Phrygian cap is sometimes called a liberty cap.
