Description

Salona was an ancient city on the Dalmatian coast in Croatia. Salona (or Salon) is located near today's town of Solin, about 5 km from Split.

In the first millennium, the Greeks had set up an emporion (marketplace) there. After the conquest by the Romans, Salona became the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia.

The city quickly acquired Roman characteristics: walls; a forum; a theater; an amphitheater — the most conspicuous above-ground remains today; public baths; and an aqueduct. Many inscriptions in both Latin and Greek have been found. All this archaeological evidence attest to the city's prosperity and integration into the Roman Empire.
