Was there over the weekend and a bit. Split old town is beautiful, safe, and has very friendly locals. The smell of sulphur engulfs the Riva so eat gelato. Keep on travelling!
many of the best emperors of the crisis of the third century and maybe even later were from Serbia like Marcus Aurelius Probus,Aurelian, Claudius Gothicus, Constantine the Great, Maximian,Constantius II,maybe Constantius Chlorus.although some of them were Illyrian orginally or Croatia like Diocletian,Valentinian I so these two countries are one of the reason the roman empire didn't collapse earlier and stayed for another 1000 years
CROAT WAS A ROMAN EMPIRE,BORN HERE,HE FIRST BECOME EMPIRE BY FIGHT, STRENGTH AND SMART THINKING,NOT LIKE EMPERATOR'S BEFORE WGO BECOME TITLE FROM FATHER OR FAMILY--HE FIGHT FOR HE'S OWN PLACE!!
The ancestors of modern Croats came to this area a few centuries later than Diocletian. And I think it wasn't unique to become an emperor after a military career.
I am visiting here in Split a seminar to become a tourist guide and all what she said is accurate. This is of course a very small part of the whole history but I did also learn this what she was saying. I can't tell you if she has a license but at least she didn't tell some nonsense.
