Sažetak

The author supports the opinion that the polygonal building in Diocletian’s Palace in Split was not a mausoleum. By way of analogy, he cites the Octagon in the Galerius Palace in Thessaloniki, which did not have a funerary character. The relief sculptures in the polygonal building in Diocletian’s Palace also includes hunting Erotes motifs. This theme is common on sarcophaguses, but also on secular buildings, such as, for example, the reliefs in Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli.
