Marble Revetments of Diocletian’s Palace
During numerous archaeological excavations inside Diocletian’s Palace, more than 1,600 marble revetment fragments were found, mostly in the southern part of the Palace, in the emperor’s apartment and in the bath complexes. A few types of white marble and more than eighteen different types of coloured marble have been determined by visual observation. The fragments of revetments are mainly small and very few are found “in situ”, with the exception of the well-preserved Mausoleum floor. Among the fragments of marble revetments whose shapes have been preserved, we can distinguish various elements: cornices, moulded slabs, fillets, and various slabs of different thicknesses in the shape of triangles, squares, rhombuses, trapezoids, deltoids and complex shapes. In this paper, the word “marble” will be associated with the ancient meaning of the word.
