Salone

Salone (grec ancien : Σάλωνα) est une ancienne cité, autrefois capitale de la Dalmatie, aujourd'hui champ de ruines à Solin (Croatie), à 5 km de Split. Bien que le nom nous soit connu par les Grecs, on estime qu'il est d'une origine dalmate antérieure[1]^,[2].

Les Grecs y établirent un comptoir[3]. Les Romains l'établirent comme capitale de la province romaine de Dalmatie[4]^,[5]^,[6]. Elle fut détruite par les Avars en 615 et ses habitants se réfugièrent dans le palais de Dioclétien, créant ainsi la ville de Split.
