This is a part of the Aurelian wall. The Aurelian Walls were city walls built between 270 and 273 in Rome during the reign of the Roman Emperor Aurelian. The 12.5-mile-long wall was intended to defend the city from barbarian attacks. At the time, the city had been grown well beyond the old Servian Wall, built during the late 4th century BC, and had been relatively safe during the centuries of Roman expansion and consolidation. However, by the 3rd century, the menace of barbarian tribes flooding through the Germanic frontier could not be easily stopped by the Roman Army, with the empire in a heavy crisis.
