摘要:This paper brings the unpublished Early Christian fragments with engraved crosses built-in as an act of spoliation into the walls of houses and churches of the old city core of Split. Together with other spoliations and archaeological findings these particular fragments suggest the existence and show disposition of Early Christian churches and chapels, i.e. the first adapted spaces for religious practice that appear along with the population of Diocletian’ s Palace, possibly already from the 4th century. At the end, one particular inscription, that has already been published, is taken into consideration. The inscription with the name of Bishop Maximus was previously interpreted as the inscription brought from Salona and then built into the niche near the Golden Gate of Diocletian’ s Palace in Split. Considering the fact that the inscription was found in that place, it is possible that it originates from the Palace. It is also possible that it is a lintel of some profane building possibly the bishopric residence.
