Porta Nomentana, City gate of the Aurelian Walls in Rome, Italy.
The gate stands 5.5 meters tall and 2.9 meters wide, constructed from brick with a single arch and a remaining semicircular tower on the right side.
Emperor Aurelian ordered the construction of this gate between 270 and 273 AD as part of the defensive walls protecting Rome from external threats.
During medieval times, people referred to it as the Gate of St Agnes due to its path leading to the Basilica of Sant'Agnese.
The structure now forms part of the boundary wall of the British Embassy, located 70 meters east of Porta Pia along viale del Policlinico.
The left tower incorporated a tomb belonging to Quintus Aterius, a noted orator at Emperor Tiberius's court, whose marble was later used in restorations.
