This image shows the North end of the sarcophagus of Empress Constance, who died on November 28, 1198 CE. She was the daughter of Roger II, the wife of Henry VI, and the mother of Frederick II. Unlike the other tombs that were made out of several large slabs of porphyry, her tomb consists of approximately fourteen separate sections. The supports are decorated with a simple fluted design due to their slender shape, and a clear line can be seen where the pieces of porphyry were glued together. The columns were built out of white marble and inlaid with a mosaic design. It is generally agreed that the sarcophagus that now holds the remains of Empress Constance was originally intended for another, possibly her husband Henry VI. The reason for this is due to the crown design that is depicted on the tympanum, which a design that was used solely for the male rulers of Byzantium and the Norman Empire.<br \/>\nModern Province: (PA) Palermo<br \/>\nModern Town: Palermo<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>The Tomb of Empress Constance<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":600,"height":450,"file":"2013\/04\/P7080169.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"P7080169-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"P7080169-300x225.jpg","width":300,"height":225,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169-300x225.jpg"},"slider-thumb":{"file":"P7080169-600x395.jpg","width":600,"height":395,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169-600x395.jpg"},"blog-thumb":{"file":"P7080169-600x300.jpg","width":600,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169-600x300.jpg"},"teaser-thumb":{"file":"P7080169-332x205.jpg","width":332,"height":205,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169-332x205.jpg"},"gallery-1-thumb":{"file":"P7080169-432x432.jpg","width":432,"height":432,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169-432x432.jpg"},"gallery-2-thumb":{"file":"P7080169-268x268.jpg","width":268,"height":268,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169-268x268.jpg"},"gallery-3-thumb":{"file":"P7080169-268x164.jpg","width":268,"height":164,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169-268x164.jpg"},"video-thumb":{"file":"P7080169-600x393.jpg","width":600,"height":393,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169-600x393.jpg"},"full":{"file":"P7080169.jpg","width":600,"height":450,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":2.8,"credit":"","camera":"C5060WZ","caption":"Tomb of Constance of Sicily, Daughter of Roger II of Sicily and Mother of Emperor Frederick II","created_timestamp":1120799727,"copyright":"","focal_length":"5.7","iso":"100","shutter_speed":"0.0333333333333","title":""}},"post":632,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080169.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/931"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=931"}]}}
