PALATIUM (Pliny), Pallantium (Paufanias), Palanteum (Livy); Pallanteum (Solinus). This last is the true writing; the great grandfather of Evander, from whom it took its name, being called Pallas, not Palas: A town of Arcadia, which concurred to form Megalopolis (Paufanias). From it the Palatium, or Mons Palatinus, takes also its name, according to Virgil and Pliny.
PALATIUM Dioclefan; the villa of Dioclesian, near Salona, where he died, (Eusebius). Afterwards called Spalatium; which rose to a considerable city from the ruins of Salona; situate in Dalmatia on the Adriatic. Now Spalato, or Spalatro.
