Salona was a Roman colony and the capital of the province of Dalmatia. It was founded in the 2nd century B.C. and as a Roman city lasted until the 7th century A.D. when it was abandoned. For more than 200 years, excavation has been ongoing at Salona, and not even 15% of its surface has been explored. Dino will present two sites where systematic excavations have been recently performed; the city walls with towers and the Late antique complex in the eastern part of the city. In 170 A.D., Salona was encircled by a city wall more than 4 km in length. By Late antiquity, there were more than 100 towers. From the 3rd century, the city walls were reinforced and rebuilt. The foundations were filled with ceramic debris and the tower walls were expanded using stones with inscriptions. In 2022, excavation of Tower 15 began and Dino will use it as an example of the revealed discoveries. The other site that he will present is a building complex next to the so-called Episcopal center, where excavations started in 2018. Although the purpose of the main building remains unknown, several interesting archaeological features including graves and limestone kilns have been discovered. Please join us and learn about the amazing discoveries, and how the material finds tell an interesting scientific and popular story!We hope you can join us for this engaging lecture!
