"Ruins of the Palace of the Emperor Diocletian at Spalatro in Dalmatia" is a seminal work by the Scottish architect Robert Adam, published in 1764. This influential folio is a detailed archaeological and architectural study of the remains of the Roman Emperor Diocletian's palace in Split, Croatia, which was then part of the Venetian territory of Dalmatia. Adam's work is notable for its meticulous illustrations and engravings, which were produced with the assistance of the French artist and engraver Charles-Louis Clérisseau and the Italian draftsman Giovanni Battista Cipriani.

The publication of this work marked a significant contribution to the field of archaeology and the study of classical antiquity. It was one of the first systematic studies of a Roman building, and it played a crucial role in the development of neoclassical architecture across Europe. Adam's detailed drawings and observations provided a rich source of inspiration for the neoclassical movement, influencing the design of buildings, interiors, and decorative arts.

Adam's journey to Spalatro (the Italian name for Split) was part of the Grand Tour, a traditional trip undertaken by many young aristocrats of the time to complete their education. During his stay, Adam meticulously documented the architectural features of the palace, including its layout, ornamentation, and construction techniques. His work not only captured the imagination of his contemporaries but also served as an academic resource for future generations of architects and historians.

The palace itself, built at the turn of the fourth century, was an impressive fortified complex that served as Diocletian's retirement residence. Its preservation into the modern era allowed Adam to study a relatively intact example of Roman imperial architecture. The palace's fusion of luxurious residential quarters with military-style fortifications was particularly intriguing to Adam and his audience.

"Ruins of the Palace of the Emperor Diocletian at Spalatro in Dalmatia" is celebrated for its accuracy and artistic merit. It remains a valuable document in the study of classical architecture and an exemplar of the 18th-century scholarly approach to the examination of ancient structures. The work's impact on architectural design and historical understanding of Roman architecture continues to be acknowledged by scholars and enthusiasts alike.
