Imagine, if you will, this colonnaded fortress. Its rectangular walls are crowned by the colonnade as we see here. Inside are two long cross streets which have elaborate colonnades on each side as we see at lower center through the east gate. After Diocletian's death, Roman nobles lived here and some of the northern buildings which would be to the right of this street -- and which had served as warehouses and barracks for the army -- became a textile factory to make uniforms for the Roman army.
