As midnight approached, three replica Roman galleons floated in Split's harbor, their decks lined with what appeared to be catapults. Then - "Ignis!" shouted the captain - and the first flaming projectiles arced into the sky, exploding into showers of gold over Diocletian's Palace.
This year's pyrotechnic spectacle used:
• Authentic 4th-century firing mechanisms (modified for safety)
• Color compositions based on ancient dyes from Split's archaeological museum
• A soundtrack mixing klapa harmonies with electronic beats
The grand finale? When the galleons "battled" with fireworks synchronized to a remix of Carmina Burana, creating the illusion of ancient naval warfare.
