Manastirine part of ancient Roman town Salona (Croatia, Solin)
Old church at Manastirine part of ancient Salona.
Short description: The remains of the basilica and the cementary of Manastirine constitute the most important Early Christian complex of Salona, situated outside the town. In the north-eastern part of the site remnants have been found originating from the earliest history of Salona, dating back to the 2nd century B.C. In the 1st century A.D. a Roman pagan necropolis started to grow in the area of Manastirine, as confirmed both by numerous grave inscriptions and walls of 'hortus' - arranged and fenced cemetery plot.
The first christian funeral known to have taken place at the necropolis was the one of the Salonitan bishop martyr Domnio, who had come to Salona from Syrian city of Antioch. He was executed in the amphitheatre of Salona on the the 10th of April 304A.D., during Diocletian's last persecutions of Christians. Domnio's body was deposited in a vaulted tomb, around which the Salonitan Christians soon commenced to bury their dead.
At the end of the 4th century a simple square building was eracted, the Memorial Chapel I, containing the tombs of Domnio and his successors to the Salonitan bishop's chair. Simultaneously private chapels, the so-called memories, were being eracted, accommodating the graves and sarcophagi of more affluent Christians. The Memorial Chapel I is surrounded by square-shaped buidings with apses.
At the end of the 4th century, during the German incursions, the entire complex was partly destroyed, and after that, in the middle of the 5th century a large three-naved basilica (42x20m), with a pronounced apse on the east side, was erected above. The Memorial Chapel I and Domnio's grave were thus left in the 'presbytery' (shrine) of the basilica.
In the 6th century the basilica was annexed and reconstructed. On the west side a 'narthex' with a three-part entrance was added, and the interior of the basilica was fitted with new furnishings. In the nave, in front of the 'transept', a 'schola cantorum' enclosed by 'plutei' was built, providing the space for the church choir. A new marble altar partition decorated with a sea-shell motif was mounted, separating the 'presbytery' with the altar and the martyr's grave from the rest of the church.
In the early 7th century both the basilica and the cemetery were looted and partly destroyed. The church was subsequently entirely reconstructed once again, and the 'presbytery' was adapted for the pilgrims visiting the grave of the martyr Domnio.

Salona was an early Roman settlement, which became overshadowed when Emperor Diocletian constructed the nearby Diocletian's Palace in about the year 300 AD.

Salona was largely destroyed in the invasions of the Avars and Slavs in the seventh century AD, though the exact year of the destruction still remains an open subject between archaeologists. Refugees from Salona settled inside the Diocletian's Palace
Croatia, Salona (Solin) - Christian Basilicas
Salina was an ancient city and the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The name Salona preserves the language of the early inhabitants of this area whom the Romans called Dalmatae, and considered to be part of a larger group called Illyrians. Salona (or Salon) is situated in today's town of Solin, right next to Split, in modern-day Croatia.

Salona was an ancient city and capital of Dalmatae in the time of the Roman empire. Dalmatae is modern day Dalmatia, part of Croatia, and Salona is modern day Solin. Colonia Martia Iulia Salona (full name of the ancient city) was founded after the Roman civil wars under Julius Caesar, but it's roots date back in the time of the Greeks. In the time of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, he built a palace nearby, this structure, known as Diocletian's Palace, became the core of the modern city of Split. Salona was destroyed in the invasions of the Avars and Slavs in the sixth and seventh centuries CE. Today only shells remain of this ancient city and they are in order of appearance: Amphitheatre, Basilica of the Five Martyrs, Theatre & Forum, Five Bridges, Episcopal center & city baths and Manastirine.

Croatia, Salona Ancient City - Roman Amphitheatre
Photographer:Samuel Magal (samuel@sites-and-photos.com)
The remains of Roman amphitheatre indicate that gladiator fights were held in the city of Salona just as in any part of Roman empire, until the fifth century when they were finally banned. The building was ellipsoidal in shape, with three floors on the south side and one floor on the north side, which was conveniently laid down on a natural hillside. Despite its relatively small size (125 by 100 meters outer shell and 65 by 40 meters the arena), Salonitan amphitheatre could have been occupied by 15.000 up to 18.000 spectators.
