Roman City Ruins of Salona

Salona was an ancient Roman city and capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia, located near modern Split [1] [2]. Originally settled by the Illyrian Dalmati tribe, it flourished under Roman rule and became one of the largest cities of the late Roman empire [1] [2]. It served as the last residence of the western Roman Emperor Julius Nepos and acted as the de facto capital of the Western Roman Empire from 476 to 480 AD [1] [3].
