As you would expect, the second story of the Imperial Residence is as
well decorated and elegant as the nave arcade.  This triforium serves two
distinct purposes, showcasing the wonderful art of the palace and secondly,
providing the Emperor Diocletian a breath-taking majestic bedroom.  A small
banister separates you from the open space to you east, but allows you to
clearly see the nave arcade on the first floor.  Descending downward is a
rectangular staircase, leading to the first floor of the building.  The
stone walkway continues north and south.
