It constitutes an autonomous Region of Italy, along with surrounding minor islands, officially referred to as "Regione Siciliana" (in Italian, Sicilian Region). - Porphyrogenntos (Latinized as Porphyrogenitus) (literally "born in the purple") was an honorific title in the Byzantine Empire given to a son, or daughter (, Porphyrogennt, Latinized Porphyrogenita), born "after" the father had become emperor. In addition to this, the birth had to meet other conditions in order for the title to apply. - The Byzantine Empire, also referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire, was the continuation of the Roman Empire in the East during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, when its capital city was Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul, which had been founded as Byzantium). It survived the fragmentation and fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD and continued to exist for an additional thousand years until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. During most of its existence, the empire was the most powerful economic, cultural, and military force in Europe. Both "Byzantine Empire" and "Eastern Roman Empire" are historiographical terms created after the end of the realm; its citizens continued to refer to their empire as the "Roman Empire" (tr. ), or "Romania", and to themselves as "Romans". - Basil I, called the Macedonian ("Basileios Makedn"; 811 August 29, 886) was a Byzantine Emperor who reigned from 867 to 886. Born a simple peasant in the Byzantine theme of Macedonia, he rose in the Imperial court, and usurped the Imperial throne from Emperor Michael III (r. 842867). Despite his humble origins, he showed great ability in running the affairs of state, leading to a revival of Imperial power and a renaissance of Byzantine art. He was perceived by the Byzantines as one of their greatest emperors, and the Macedonian dynasty, which he founded, ruled over what is regarded as the most glorious and prosperous era of the Byzantine Empire. - ConstantineVII Porphyrogennetos or Porphyrogenitus, "the Purple-born" (that is, born in the purple marble slab-paneled imperial bed chambers 1718 May 905 9 November 959), was the fourth Emperor of the Macedonian dynasty of the Byzantine Empire, reigning from 913 to 959.

Zoe Karbonopsina was a relative of the chronicler Theophanes the Confessor and a niece of the admiral Himerios . Desperate to sire a son , Leo VI married his mistress Zoe on 9 January 906 , only after she had given birth to the future Constantine VII at the end of 905 . However , this constituted his fourth marriage , and was therefore un-canonical in the eyes of the Eastern Orthodox Church , which had already been reluctant to accept his third marriage to Eudokia Baiana , who died in childbirth in 901 . Although the Patriarch Nicholas Mystikos reluctantly baptised Constantine , he forbade the emperor from marrying for the fourth time . Leo VI married Zoe with the assistance of a cooperative priest , Thomas , but Nicholas ' continued opposition to the marriage led to his removal from office and replacement by Euthymios in 907 . The new patriarch attempted a compromise by defrocking the offending priest but recognizing the marriage . When Leo died in 912 , he was succeeded by his younger brother Alexander , who recalled Nicholas Mystikos and expelled Zoe from the palace . Shortly before his death Alexander provoked a war with Bulgaria . She returned on Alexander 's death in 913 , but Nicholas forced her to enter a convent after obtaining the promise of the senate and the clergy not to accept her as empress . However , Nicholas ' unpopular concessions to the Bulgarians later in the same year weakened his position and in 914 Zoe was able to overthrow Nicholas and replace him as regent . Nicholas was allowed to remain patriarch after reluctantly recognizing her as empress . Zoe governed with the support of imperial bureaucrats and the influential general Leo Phokas the Elder , who was her favorite .
