This is the final resting place of Empress Constance of Aragon, wife of Emperor Frederick II. She is remembered most for her reign alongside Frederick II and for serving as a regent of Sicily. Unlike the other tombs of the royalty, her sarcophagus was not of the same standard because it was made out of white marble rather than porphyry. The use of marble was due to the dearth of porphyry, which had been recycled to construct the other sarcophagi. We can know that this is the tomb of Queen Constance due to the inscription along the side of the lid. It also tells us the year of her death by the inscription &#8216;obit catanie MCCXXIII&#8217;, which reads that she died in 1222 CE. Another unique aspect of her tomb is the high relief that was carved into the marble. The scene depicts images of what could possibly be a hunting party based on the men on horses, the dog, and wild animals like lions.<br \/>\nModern Province: (PA) Palermo<br \/>\nModern Town: Palermo<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>Tomb of Empress Constance, Wife of Frederick II<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":600,"height":450,"file":"2013\/04\/P7080171.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"P7080171-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"P7080171-300x225.jpg","width":300,"height":225,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171-300x225.jpg"},"slider-thumb":{"file":"P7080171-600x395.jpg","width":600,"height":395,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171-600x395.jpg"},"blog-thumb":{"file":"P7080171-600x300.jpg","width":600,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171-600x300.jpg"},"teaser-thumb":{"file":"P7080171-332x205.jpg","width":332,"height":205,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171-332x205.jpg"},"gallery-1-thumb":{"file":"P7080171-432x432.jpg","width":432,"height":432,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171-432x432.jpg"},"gallery-2-thumb":{"file":"P7080171-268x268.jpg","width":268,"height":268,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171-268x268.jpg"},"gallery-3-thumb":{"file":"P7080171-268x164.jpg","width":268,"height":164,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171-268x164.jpg"},"video-thumb":{"file":"P7080171-600x393.jpg","width":600,"height":393,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171-600x393.jpg"},"full":{"file":"P7080171.jpg","width":600,"height":450,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/P7080171.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":2.8,"credit":"","camera":"C5060WZ","caption":"Tomb of Constance of Aragon, Daughter of Alfonso II of Aragon and Wife of Emperor Frederick II","created_timestamp":1120799756,"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\/P7080171.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.envisioningnormansicily.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/932"}],"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=932"}]}}
