The Silver Gate, or "the Eastern Gate", is one of the four principal Roman gates into the stari grad of Split that was once Diocletian's Palace [1]. The gate faces east towards the Roman town of Epetia, today Stobreč [1]. During late antiquity, the gate was known as the Porta Orientalis [1]. The gate was still in operation during the Middle Ages [1]. The Porta Orientalis was a secondary gate of Diocletian's Palace, as it was not the main gate and was located in the middle of the east wall [1].
