[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 7786756, member: 80783"]Thank you all for sharing your stories and showing your coins of the founder of the Tetrarchy! Here is my one and only coin of Diocletian: [ATTACH=full]1336528[/ATTACH] I never presented it here because I did not find it spectacular enough to do a writeup or even find references for it (maybe one of the experts here can help?). Here are two books I brought home from Split: [ATTACH=full]1336527[/ATTACH] Sadly the museum´s rooms including the coin cabinet are closed due to renovations now. All you can visit is the courtyard which does feature many interesting artifacts though, like this late 2nd century mosaic of a sea god fron the house of the province governor: [ATTACH=full]1336523[/ATTACH] And here is a relief depicting the personification of the City of Salona (first half of 4th century): [ATTACH=full]1336524[/ATTACH] And here is the (modern interpretation of a) bust of the man himself, shown at his palace: [ATTACH=full]1336525[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
