Emperor Diocletian completes the decade-long construction of his magnificent palace on the Dalmatian coast at Salona (present Split, or Spalato, in Croatia).

Both residence and fortress, the palace follows the rectangular plan of a Roman military camp, corner towers and turrets surmounting its massive walls, and broad colonnaded avenues intersecting the enclosure.
