The Crown of [[Gaius Julius Cicurinus|Saint Julius]] is the primary Royal crown of [[Urcea]]. Despite its name, it was crafted in the 11th century for [[History_of_Urcea_(1098-1214)#Julio-Harren_dynasty|King Niall I]], replacing an earlier circlet. The Crown of Saint Julius was initially similar to many other medieval crowns, featuring a relatively simple open-topped gold band with multiple fleur-de-lis and precious stones inlayed throughout the Crown. The original style of the crown is still used for its heraldic depictions. The crown remained largely the same until the late 16th century. During the reign of [[Leo III, Emperor of the Levantines|King Leo II]], the crown was significantly altered to add many more stones, ivory figurines (such as an [[Holy Levantine Empire|Imperial eagle]]), and both gold and ivory inlay. The many stones, added to reflect the increased prestige of the [[Julian dynasty]] and [[House de Weluta]], were said to have doubled the weight of the crown. | The Crown of [[Gaius Julius Cicurinus|Saint Julius]] is the primary Royal crown of [[Urcea]].

The changes to the Crown also inalterably changed its fundamental structure as many holes were added to it, both for stylistic reasons and also to support the new additions. Public interest in possibly restoring the medieval Crown led to a study conducted in [[1946]] which concluded that any such effort to remove Leonine innovations would likely destroy the Crown. | ||

Increasingly, it has also become supplanted in physical use; although [[Riordan VIII]] is the first Apostolic King to use the Imperial State Crown nearly exclusively, his predecessors (including [[Aedanicus IX]]) began to use the State Crown in an increasing share of public events. | ||
