More of the Roman bits of Split, Croatia...
 |
Back in the peristyle area of the palace; a nice sphinx, one of more than a dozen originally |
 |
| Oculus |
 |
Certainly the coolest thing about the palace is the basement, which extended over about half the complex (it was built on an incline), and which you can visit; about 1/3 is the souvenir shoppes area, here (Diocletian's Bargain Basement) |
 |
| For a few kuna, you can go into the other 2/3s |
 |
| Vicki points to...well, I think that's where our campground is |
 |
This is the large hall where Daenerys locked up the dragons; much more GoT stuff coming up in the out-takes.. |
 |
| Abundant spare parts in the basement |
 |
Also abundant centuries of sludge and refuse the residents dropped down through holes in the floor above; archaeologists are drooling to get into it |
 |
| Another of the sizable halls; barrel vaulting |
 |
| Ever more Roman stuff |
 |
| Bust, I would guess recent, of the Emperor (ret.) |
 |
| Sphinx bit |
 |
| And ever more spare parts |
 |
| Outside, the only mosaic we saw in the place |
 |
| Restaurant between the arches |
