Abstract
The poster presents a brief summary of a arheological investigations and conservation restoration treatments of a floor mosaics in the historic core of Split. The mosaics in question are dated to the 3rd century AD. It is believed that they were made by the Salona workshop which was particularly active around that time. The mosaics are periodically restored, but being located outdoors and without a protective covering, they are susceptible to all sorts of damage. Since their discovery to date a significant part of the mosaics has vanished due to inadequate care.
