Doimo, Croat Dujam, Duje) was, in fact still is, the holy protector of the metropolis of Salona-Spalato. Late antique Salona, the capital city of the Roman province of Dalmatia was a very important Christian centre in the Mediterranean region without any exaggeration comparable with Ravenna and Aquileia in Italy.1 Spalato (Croat Split) originated very close to ancient Salona and indeed was her successor in respect to ecclesiastical authority when Salona perished in the seventh century. The early history of the Church of Salona is mainly known due two me- dieval Histories — the History of Archbishops of Salona and Spalato written in the mid-thirteenth century by Archdeacon Thomas of Spalato and the anony- mous History of Archbishops of Salona whose earliest manuscript dates back to the early sixteenth century. The latter finishes its narrative in 1185 while the former continues to the middle of the thirteenth century. Both texts are almost identical except some vital interpolations added to the History of Arch- bishops of Salona. Both Histories, the common text as well as supplementary documents, glorified the Church of Spalato and enhanced its apostolic foundation and old metropolitan status.

The analysis of Diocletian’s Palace in the works of Robert Adam ausgeführt zum Zwecke der Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Diplom-Ingenieurin unter der Leitung Ao.Univ.Prof.Dipl.-Ing.Dr.-Ing. Dörte Kuhlmann E259.4 Abteilung für Architekturtheorie Institut für Architekturwissenschaften eingereicht an der Technischen Universität Wien Fakultät für Architektur und Raumplanung von PETRA VUŠKOVIĆ 0928474 Wien, am 03.11.2016 ABSTRACT Diocletian’s Palace represents a significant architectural complex and its greatest value derives from its continued existence, spatial adaptations and functional conversions. Robert Adam and his book, Ruins of the Palace of the Emperor Diocletian at Spalatro in Dalmatia, was a first scientific attempt to document, interpret and understand the Palace and nowadays still represents capital documentation for the study of the Diocletian’s Palace. His publication holds very a important place in the history of art and architecture of the 18th century, but also plays a significant role in constructing an iconic image of the Palace and the city. Robert Adam was the first one who established the status of the Palace and its specific points and enabled the idea of continuity in the Palace through his visual and verbal representations, which should be revisited when thinking about today’s city.

  • Ancient Civilizations Cruising the Adriatic and Aegean Seas Venice U Dalmatian Coast U Bay of Kotor U Albania Corfu U Corinth Canal U Delphi U Athens
    Odyssey of Ancient Civilizations CRUISING THE ADRIATIC AND AEGEAN SEAS Venice u Dalmatian Coast u Bay of Kotor u Albania Corfu u Corinth Canal u Delphi u Athens Aboard the Exclusively Chartered Small Ship Five‑Star Le Lyrial June 27 to July 5, 2018 Dear Alumni and Friends, The coastlines and islands of the pristine, azure Adriatic and Aegean Seas are dynamic crossroads of the Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Slavic civilizations and their distinctive, deep‑rooted cultures that flourished for more than three thousand years. This exciting, comprehensive and custom‑designed itinerary takes us along the pathway of these great civilizations into five countries—Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece—and through the extraordinary Corinth Canal, an unrivaled experience possible only by a small ship. Begin your journey in Venice—known for centuries as La Serenissima, “the most serenely beautiful city”—where you will board the exclusively chartered, Five‑ Star Le Lyrial, an exceptional small ship featuring only 110 all ocean­-view Suites and Staterooms. Cruise along the Adriatic coast of the stunning region of Dalmatia. Continue across the Isthmus of Corinth, passing through the narrow canal between soaring, 300‑foot limestone walls to the Aegean Sea, concluding in Athens, the birthplace of Western civilization. Call on splendid walled cities, medieval villages, picture‑perfect islands and the dramatic fjord‑like Bay of Kotor, and cruise into smaller, seldom‑visited ports inaccessible to larger ships. Visit six UNESCO World Heritage sites, including historic Split and the fourth‑century Diocletian’s Palace, now home to a thriving 21st‑century community; the seventh‑century walled city of Dubrovnik, "the city made of stone and light"; picturesque Kotor, Montenegro; the remarkable Greco‑Roman site of Butrint, Albania; the Old Town of Corfu, Greece, settled in the eighth century B.C.; and the ancient Greek site of Delphi.
