Description: Antique print titled 'General plan of the town and fortifications of Spalatro, shewing the situation of the ancient palace of the Emperor Dioclesian; also the great bay and harbour, the Lazaretto; the Mountain Margliano, the Fort of Grippe, the suburbs, and the adjacent grounds'. Large engraving of Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia. Diocletian's Palace is an ancient palace built for the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, which today forms about half the old town of Split, Croatia. While it is referred to as a "palace" because of its intended use as the retirement residence of Diocletian, the term can be misleading as the structure is massive and more resembles a large fortress: about half of it was for Diocletian's personal use, and the rest housed the military garrison. This print originates from 'Ruins of the Palace of the Emperor Diocletian at Spalatro in Dalmatia' by Robert Adam.
