Modius (headdress)

Modius is a fancy hat that was worn by ancient people in Egypt and Rome. It looks like a little tower made of feathers or cloth with a round flat top. It was often worn by important people, like pharaohs or goddesses, to show their status and power.

Think of it like a king or queen wearing a crown to show that they are in charge. The modius was like a fancy crown for gods and goddesses in ancient times. It was also a way to show that they were associated with the sun, since it looked like the sun with its round shape and rays sticking out.

So, if you see someone wearing a modius in a picture or statue, you can guess that they were a important person, and probably worshipped as a powerful deity.
