Regalia is Latin plurale tantum for the privileges and the insignia characteristic of a sovereign.

The word stems from the Latin substantivation of the adjective regalis, "regal", itself from Rex, "king". It is sometimes used in the singular, regale.

Regalia in the abstract

Main article: Droit de régale

The term can refer to rights, prerogatives and privileges enjoyed exclusively by any sovereign regardless of title (emperor, grand duke, etc.) An example is the right to mint coins, especially with one's own effigy. In many cases, especially in feudal societies and generally weak states, such rights have in time been eroded by grants to or usurpations by lesser vassals.

Regalia as sovereign insignia

Some emblems, symbols, or paraphernalia possessed by rulers are a visual representation of imperial, royal or sovereign status. Some are shared with divinities, either to symbolize a god(ess)'s role as, say, king of the Pantheon (e.g. Brahman's sceptre) or to allow mortal royalty to resemble, identify with, or link to a Divinity.

The term crown jewels is commonly used for regalia items designed to lend luster to occasions such as coronations. They feature some combination of precious materials, artistic merit, and symbolic or historical value. Crown jewels may have been designated at the start of a dynasty, accumulated through many years of tradition, or sent as tangible recognition of legitimacy by some leader such as the pope to an emperor or caliph.

Each culture, even each monarchy and/or dynasty within one culture, may have its own historical traditions, and some even have a specific name for its regalia, or at least for an important subset, such as:

• The Honours of Scotland
• The Nigerian Royal Regalia
• The Three Sacred Treasures of the Emperor of Japan

But some elements occur in many traditions.

Headgear

Austrian Imperial Crown

• Crowns and variations (diadem, tiara)
• Cap of Maintenance

Other regal dress and jewelry

• Armills —Bracelets
• (Ermine) Coronation Mantle
• Gloves
• Barmi (Бармы) or Barmas, a detachable silk collar with medallions of precious material sewn to it, as used in Moscovy
• Rings, symbolizing the Monarch's "marriage" to the state (in the case of the Doge of the Republic of Venice, to its lifeblood, the sea); or as a Signet-Ring, a practical attribute of his power to command legally

Manipulable symbols of power

The Holy Crown of Hungary along with other Regalia.

• Orb (Globus Cruciger)
• Sceptre, including the French Hand of Justice
• Sword - for examples, see Sword of Justice; Sword of State; Sword of Mercy (known also as Edward the Confessor's Sword)
• Spurs
• Other weapons, such as a dagger (as in Arabian and Indian traditions),a spear, or a royal kris (in Malay traditions)
• Flail and Crook
• Fly-whisk, which is said to have some of the power of Amaterasu.
• Seals, such as the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, represented imperial authority under the Mandate of Heaven in China.

Other manipulable symbols

Regalia can also stand for other attributes or virtues, i.e. what is expected from the holder.

Thus the Imperial Regalia of Japan (Jp: 三種の神器; "Sanshu no Jingi", or "Three Sacred Treasures"), also known as the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan as follows:

• The sword, Kusanagi (草薙剣) (or possibly a replica of the original; located at Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya) represents valor
• The jewel or necklace of jewels, Yasakani no magatama (八尺瓊曲玉; at Kokyo in Tokyo), represents benevolence
• The mirror, Yata no kagami (八咫鏡), located in the Ise Shrine in Mie Prefecture, represents wisdom

Since 690, the presentation of these items to the Emperor by the priests at the shrine are a central part of the imperial enthronement ceremony. As this ceremony is not public, the regalia are by tradition only seen by the Emperor and certain priests, and no known photographs or drawings exist.

Coronation paraphernalia

Some regalia objects are presented and/or used in the formal ceremonial of enthronement/coronation. They can be associated with an office or court sinecure (cfr. Archoffices) that enjoys the privilege to carry, present/or at use it at the august occasion, and sometimes on other formal occasions, such as a royal funeral.

Such objects, with or without intrinsic symbolism, can include

• Anointing Utensils:
  • Sacred ampulla containing the ointment
  • Spoon for the same ointment
  • Alternatively, the monarchies of Norway and Sweden have an anointment horn
• A bible used for swearing in the Monarch as the new Sovereign.

Companions' attributes

Apart from the Sovereign himself, attributes (especially a crown) can be used for close relatives who are allowed to share in the pomp. For example, in Norway the queen consort and the crown prince are the only other members of the royal family to possess these attributes and share in the Sovereign's royal symbolism.

Reserved colour

In the Roman Empire the colour Tyrian purple, produced with an extremely expensive Mediterranean mollusk extract, was in principle reserved for the Imperial Court. The use of this dye was extended to various dignitaries, such as members of the Roman senate who wore stripes of Tyrian purple on their white togas, for whom the term purpuratus was coined as a high aulic distinction.

In late Imperial China, the colour yellow was reserved for the emperor, as it had a multitude of meanings. Yellow was a symbol of gold, and thus wealth and power, and since it was also the colour that symbolized the center in Chinese cosmology (the five elements, or wu xing(五行)), it was the perfect way to refer to the emperor, who was always in the middle of the universe. Consequently, peasants and noblemen alike were forbidden to wear robes made entirely out of yellow, although they were allowed to use the colour sparingly.

By analogy, the term regalia is also applied, technically improperly^{[citation needed]}, to formal insignia in other contexts, such as academic regalia.

for its use in transplanted patients and the evidence for its safety in this clinical setting is still incomplete. For these reasons, many questions still remain open for the clinical nephrologist: when to consider a parathyroidectomy (PTX)  in a patient on a waiting list for kidney transplant  (KTx); when to recommend PTX after KTx; when could a regression of parathyroid hyperplasia 
be expected at any time after KTx. In the present paper, we will briefly deal with these questions in the light of an unusual clinical case.

The departmental affiliation listed in the author note for Sara Pelucchi and Camillo Regalia should be the Department of Psychology. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2013-21361-001.) This study investigates self-forgiveness for real hurts committed against the partner in a romantic relationship (N = 168 couples). Using a dyadic perspective, we evaluated whether offender self-forgiveness, conceived as a bidimensional construct distinct from self-excusing, was uniquely related to both own and partner relationship satisfaction. For both males and females, offending partners were more satisfied with their romantic relationship to the extent that they had more positive and less negative sentiment and thoughts toward themselves, whereas victimized partners were more satisfied with the relationship when the offending partner had less negative sentiment and thoughts (but not more positive ones) toward himself/herself. The implications of these findings for understanding self-forgiveness and its pro-relationship effects in romantic couples are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2013 APA, all rights reserved).
