Summary

Historical records suggest that Galla Placidia, a prominent figure of the Roman Empire, may have stayed at the Palace of Diocletian in Split during 424/425 AD. This paper challenges such claims by analyzing Philostorgius' account of Theodosius II's military campaign route through Pannonia and Illyricum. By scrutinizing the logistics of this unusual journey, the study questions the feasibility of Galla Placidia's prolonged sojourn in Split. The research employs a critical examination of historical sources to assess the plausibility of her presence, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of late Roman history.
