| Description |
the plate shows the fortifications built at various stages which turned a double triumphal arch into a fortified gate. The walls built by Emperor Aurelianus reduced the size of the openings of the arch; major changes were introduced by Emperor Honorius who built a new gate in front of the old one in the early 5th century; this was flanked by a high tower and by a smaller one which incorporated a funerary monument. |
