Romuliana-the imperial palace

This 4th century palace has been built by Roman emperor Gaius Valerius Galerius Maximianus, who is one of many emperors that originated from the territoy of today's Serbia. The palace contains mosaics, frescoes, capitols etc. Proof of the glorious past of Romuliana is maginificent temple dedicated to Jupiter (unfortunately only in ruins), and a smaller royal temple dedicated to Magna Mater (Great Mother). Behind the palace is the sacred hill where the monumental tombs to Gaius and his wife Romula- (Diocletian's daughter)- have been erected. Diocletian, one of the most famous late Roman emperors has spent a lot of time in this palace (he also originated from Dioclea- today's Podgorica, Montenegro).
