A Divine Hat: a History of the Miter
"Best known as the distinctive headgear of Christian Bishops, the miter is a highly recognizable hat worn by high ranking members of various Christian deneominations. One version, tall and pointed, is used by Catholic and Protestant bishops, as well as Catholic cardinals and the Pope, while a very different version is used by Orthodox bishops, metropolitans and patriarchs. With its origins dating back to Roman and Byzantine imperial headgear, its history extends for over a millennium." from the video introduction
