Emperor Diocletian ..... born in Dalmatia , part of Croatia

Diocletian (/ˌdaɪ.əˈkliːʃən/; Latin: Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus Augustus), born Diocles (244–312),[3][5] was a Roman emperor from 284 to 305. Born to a family of low status in Dalmatia (Roman province), Diocletian rose through the ranks of the military to become roman cavalry commander to the Emperor Carus. After the deaths of Carus and his son Numerian on campaign in Persia, Diocletian was proclaimed emperor. The title was also claimed by Carus' other surviving son, Carinus, but Diocletian defeated him in the Battle of the Margus. Diocletian's reign stabilized the empire and marks the end of the Crisis of the Third Century. He appointed fellow officer Maximian as Augustus, co-emperor, in 286.

Diocletian's Palace (Croatian: Dioklecijanova palača, pronounced [diɔklɛt͡sijǎːnɔʋa pǎlat͡ʃa]) is an ancient palace built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, that today forms about half the old town of Split, Croatia

Howard Walter Florey
DOB: 24 September 1898
Adelaide, South Australia

Alexander Fleming may have discovered the world's first antibiotic, penicillin, but it was the team at Oxford University led by Howard Florey a decade later which worked out how to actually use it, and also how to mass produce it. Not only did it help the allies win WW2 by enabling sick or injured soldiers to survive their injuries/illnesses & return to the battle sooner, it has saved many millions of lives since then.

Florey, his Oxford colleague Ernst Chain, and Alexander Fleming shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945.

@ rpdesign,

Keep your eyes on your own paper.

Zlatan is apparently a celebrity in my country.

But i do not know why he is so famous.

Maybe because he was born in Malmoe.
