Porta Trigemina, Ancient city gate in Forum Boarium, Rome, Italy.
The Porta Trigemina stood between the northern end of the Aventine Hill and the Tiber River, serving as a passage through the Servian Wall.
Constructed in the 4th century BC, this triple-arched gate managed the flow of traffic from Via Ostiensis into Rome through three separate entrances.
The area surrounding Porta Trigemina became a gathering location for local beggars, as documented in the ancient Roman comedy Captivi by Plautus.
The gate facilitated the movement of goods and people between Rome and its port city Ostia, making it essential for commerce and transportation.
A statue of Lucius Minucius was placed outside the gate in 438 BC, leading some scholars to confuse it with another entrance called Porta Minucia.
