It was commonly worn by victors in athletic contests, military leaders, or individuals being honored in various ceremonies.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The concept of a "stemma" is deeply rooted in Greek and Roman traditions, where it symbolized triumph and achievement. In the context of the New Testament, the imagery of a crown or wreath is often used metaphorically to represent spiritual victory, eternal life, or the reward for faithful service to God. The use of such imagery would have resonated with early Christian audiences familiar with Greco-Roman customs.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/greek/4735.htm">stephanos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wreath<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>garlands (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4725: στέμμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">στέμμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">στεμματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">στέφω</span>, perfect passive <span class="greek2">ἔστεμμαι</span>, to crown, to bind round), <span class="accented">a fillet, a garland,</span> put upon victims: <a href="/interlinear/acts/14-13.htm">Acts 14:13</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 630 (585); <span class="abbreviation">B.
