Porta Borsari, Roman city gate in Verona, Italy.
The limestone facade of Porta Borsari features two ground-level arches with Corinthian columns, topped by a two-story structure with twelve windows.
Originally named Porta Iovia in the first century AD, the gate received its current name from the bursarii soldiers who collected taxes.
The entrance gate marks the beginning of Via Postumia, the primary Roman road that connected the city to other settlements in northern Italy.
Visitors can examine the detailed architectural elements of the gate facade, including its semi-columns, capitals, entablature, and triangular pediments.
The inscription on the gate documents a reconstruction ordered by Emperor Gallienus in 265 AD, preserving a specific moment in Roman history.
