Phrygian cap and other elements of Indo-European culture

The Phrygian cap is a cone-shaped headdress with the top thrown forward. Initially, the cap was worn by the Indo-European tribes of the Phrygians in Asia Minor, and the Greeks borrowed it from them. During the French bourgeois revolution of the 18th century, the Phrygian cap became a detail of the Jacobins' clothing, and in the 20th century, Red Army soldiers wore a type of Budyonovka cap. The pagan beliefs of the ancient Indo-Europeans were very diverse. In many Aryan settlements, the head of the divine pantheon at that time was the sunny-faced Mithras, the owner of wide pastures. In the old days in Rus', the barnyard was called a mitria. Mitra is a headdress in Orthodox and Catholic churches. Along with Mitra, the ancient Aryans revered Vertragna, the god of war and victory, a changeable whirlwind that can be both kind, quiet and warm, and destructive, sweeping away everything in its path.
