Ancient Roman Curves
This circular dome is found in the vestibule at the Palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the Croatian city of Split. Peeking through the open roof is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Saint Dominus. These ancient structures, the palace and the cathedral, are said to date from the 4th Century. The bell tower is dated from the tenth Century. The longevity of Roman architecture is a testament of their building skills; their use of the arch, cement, and domes which still stand two thousand years later. This old photograph is a stitched panorama taken in 2004 with my Canon PowerShot G3.
