62 - Section of the ancient Servian walls (eng)

In the gardens of the Hotel Palazzo Montemartini in Largo Montemartini, there are remains of the ancient Roman city walls called the “Servian Walls”, which precede the other and more recent one known as the “Aurelian Walls”. This ancient city wall built by Servius Tullius in the 6th century BC was extended and consolidated after the sack of Rome in 390 BC by the Gauls.Cover: Author's elaboration on orthophotos from the National Geoportal of the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security https://www.mase.gov.it
