300 AD - 399 AD (search for this): entry porta-praenestina
ous; cf. Gell and Nibby, Mura di Roma, 349, and pl. xiv. changed it very considerably: he certainly built a curtain wall with two openings (on the right-hand one was CIL vi. 1189), thus forming a courtyard. With this building scheme seem to go the square towers at each end on the outside; while the semicircular tower in the middle over the tomb of Eurysaces may belong to Aurelian. The latest ancient road level is 1.50 m. below the modern. The right-hand opening was blocked at a later date (Ill. 38). In 1838 these fourth-century additions were removed and the arches of the aqueduct exposed to view (Jord. i. I. 357; Reber 528-532; PBS i. 500). The gate appears in the sixth century (Procop. BG i. 18), when we have our first record of it, as the porta Praenestina. This name continued in use during the Middle Ages, along with Sessoriana and Labicana, but gradually gave way to Maior, which has survived in its modern designation (T x. 380-383; DuP 92-93; D'Esp. Fr. i. 8 ; BC 1917, 195-207).
