Armilla

hi.
is armilla used correctly in:
Other signs, like the splendid attire of the king, crown, his armilla and jeweled sword were influential in complementing the royal and splendid atmosphere of the painting. Moreover?

What's the difference between 'armilla' and 'armband'?

Thanks in advance x2

H 'Armilla' is a very unusual word in English (I had to look it up) But, yes, it refers to a gown worn by the monarch at a British coronation It can also mean a ceremonial bracelet or armband worn - for example - by Roman soldiers. I don't think you would often hear the word used. 'Armband' is the straightforward word for a symbol worn around the arm.

Hi

No - I think 'armilla' maybe quite right in that context: an expensive and decorative shoulder garment or armband, worn in a royal or military ceremony

I was just saying that you probably wouldn't see it used in any other way
