Show sight on map

The Servian Wall is an ancient Roman defensive barrier constructed around the city of Rome in the early 4th century BC. The wall was built of volcanic tuff and was up to 10 m (33 ft) in height in places, 3.6 m (12 ft) wide at its base, 11 km (6.8 mi) long, and is believed to have had 16 main gates, of which only one or two have survived, and enclosed a total area of 246 hectares. In the 3rd century AD it was superseded by the construction of the larger Aurelian Walls as the city of Rome grew beyond the boundary of the Servian Wall.

Sight 8: Porta Praetoriana

Show sight on map

Porta Pretoriana is a gate of the Aurelian Walls. The information about it is very scarce, so much so that it was walled up at an unspecified time. It is thought to be the first gate to be walled up, so it appears along a wall of the Castra Praetoria. It was the eastern gate of the Castra Praetoria, the large barracks of the Praetorian Guard that Emperor Tiberius built between 20 and 23 to bring together in a single location the 9 cohorts established by Augustus as the imperial guard. It never appeared among the gates of Rome, so much so that it is thought to have been closed by Constantine when he dissolved the Praetorians and when, between 270 and 273, Aurelian included the Praetorian camp in the city walls.
