Trivia: Which ancient style of hat is linked to American and French revolutions?
Tricorne
Capotain
Cloche
Phrygian cap
The correct answer is Phrygian cap
So why is this answer correct? : Phrygian caps are soft conical hats of felted wool that sit close to the head and have a crown that curls over the front. The ancient hat originated in Phrygia, Anatolia, and in ancient Roman times was known as the “pileus,” or liberty cap, often worn by freed enslaved people. As a result, the phrygian cap became emblematic of liberty, and was adopted as a symbol in the American Revolution (1765–1791) and the French Revolution (1787–1799).
