God originally gave Adam and Eve dominion. Dominion means to rule over, to be lord over, to dominate, to reign. For an unspecified time, Adam and Eve enjoyed their God-given rulership, and had a taste of what God's people will experience in the future.

The Rise and Expansion of the First Century Church

Crown of Thorns in the Passion of Christ
As a last act of humiliation against Jesus, the Roman officers twisted a crown of thorns and placed it on his head. Taking up the reed they had given him as a mock scepter, they repeatedly struck Jesus in the head with it. Then they bowed in mockery to the King of the Jews, and led him away to be crucified.
