Sažetak
This paper brings the unpublished Early Christian fragments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.
