Diocletian's
Palace at Split
by Tomislav Marasovic
The Emperor's Mausoleum
"Having a dead body (no matter how illustrious) within the confines of a city would not have been allowed by the Greeks or by the Romans of the earlier
Empire, who found the concept sacriligious as well as unhealthy. By Diocletain's time, however, the deification of Emperors was an accomplished fact: so
as an immortal (via the process of apotheosis - becoming a god) his mausoleum could "look the temple in the eye", so to speak. The temple might well have
been dedicated to the chief of the gods, Jupiter - but it is noticeable that Diocletian's mausoleum is not only taller and much more decorated, but occupies
several times the amound of ground-space."
