Porta Tiburtina, Ancient city gate in eastern Rome, Italy.
The Porta Tiburtina features a main archway flanked by two towers, constructed with large stone blocks and decorated with classical architectural elements.
Emperor Augustus built the initial arch in 5 BC to support three aqueducts crossing the Via Tiburtina, before its integration into the Aurelian Walls.
The gate carries three inscriptions detailing repairs to the aqueducts by Emperors Augustus, Caracalla, and Titus, providing insights into Roman engineering methods.
The gate stands near the modern Termini station, with the Via Tiburtina running through it toward the San Lorenzo district and cemetery.
Emperor Honorius added five smaller openings to illuminate the gate's operation area, though these modifications were later removed by Pope Pius IX.
