Modern Description: "Constantine Porphyrogenitus writes in his de Administrando Imperii (29.3), ""Diocletian the king very much loved the region of Dalmatia and brought people from Rome with their families to settle the Dalamatia region, and to the present day they are referred to as Romani from their having emigrated from Rome. This king Diocletian also built the castle of Aspalathos, and in it made a palace beyond all description, which even today is held up as a relic of ancient prosperity, though much time has degraded it."" The octagonal building, now a church, was almost certainly a temple rather than a mausoleum.
