The kausia was an ancient Macedonian flat hat

The kausia was an ancient Macedonian flat hat, commonly worn during the Hellenistic period, possibly even before Alexander the Great’s time. It was part of the royal attire for Macedonian kings, often adorned with a diadem. The hat served both as a symbol of status and practical protection against the sun, used by soldiers and commoners alike. The kausia has been depicted on coins, statues, and frescoes across regions influenced by Macedonian culture. Its design may have inspired similar headgear in modern-day #Afghanistan and #Pakistan, known as the pakol
