Servian Wall, Ancient defensive wall in Rome, Italy
The archaeological remains showcase stone blocks of gray tuff arranged in fifteen rows, reaching heights of 10 meters with a thickness of 4 meters.
The first construction dates to the sixth century BCE under King Servius Tullius, with major reconstruction occurring after the Gallic invasion of 390 BCE.
The fortification marks the physical boundary of early Rome, representing a milestone in Roman military engineering and urban development from the Republican period.
The remaining sections of the wall extend for several kilometers throughout Rome, with notable portions visible near Termini Station and the Aventine Hill.
The wall structure includes specialized chambers for defensive catapults, with one preserved example located inside Palazzo Antonelli.
