Beneath the Pendentive Bay - N - (-------------------------------------------------) W <---(M)---> - - S - A statue of impressive design and color stands in the corner of this bay. It is a detailed representation of Diocletian, and like the other three tetrarch statues, characterizes the man with chiseled marble stone. The rich detail in the moldings of the pendentive bay is enhanced by the contrast of colored stone, which gives a peculiar crisp and vivid sparkle to the interior. You are motivated to continue north, to the tetrarch chamber.
