Abstract
This paper analyses the official images of King Frederick III of Aragon (1296-1337) in the figurative context of the Kingdom of Sicily. In particular, it focuses on the royal seal, the billon silver denaro coin, the lost mosaic from the Church of Santa Maria della Valle (known as Badiazza) near Messina, and the mosaic in the Cathedral of Messina. The aim is to understand which iconographic patterns, among those present in the panorama of the South of Italy, were used in order to stage the royal image and if the choices done had specific meanings in the contemporary political-institutional context.
