→Insignia: - clarify non-use of triple tiara
The pope is distinguished by the use of the tiara or triple crown. At what date the custom of crowning the pope was introduced is unknown. It was certainly previous to the forged donation of Constantine, which dates from the commencement of the ninth century, for mention is there made of the pope's coronation. The triple crown is of much later origin. (it remains only a symbol)

No pope has worn an actually triple tiara since [[Pope Paul VI]] at the end of the [[Second Vatican Council]] in [[1965]].
