The Arch of Gallienus is a name given to the Porta Esquilina, an ancient Roman arch in the Servian Wall of Rome. It was here that the ancient Roman roads via Labicana and via Tiburtina started. The arch was rebuilt in monumental style in the Augustan period.〔Thein, Alexander. "Porta Esquilina" in (''Digital Augustan Rome'' ). 〕 In 262, the equestrian (Marcus) Aurelius Victor〔 Mennen, Inge. "Power and Status in the Roman Empire, AD 193-284" in Volume 12 of ''The Impact of Empire'', Koninklijke Brill, Leiden, the Netherlands, 2011. Page 230. 〕 rededicated the arch to the emperor Gallienus and his wife Cornelia Salonina. ==Site== It still stands in the Via di S. Vito (the ancient Clivus Suburanus - the sequel, the Via S. Madonna dei Monti, follows the course of the ancient Argiletum, the main road to the Roman Forum). Already in the Augustan period the Porta Esquilina should be included in the Esquiline Forum, that included the market called the Macellum Liviae. When these buildings were abandoned in late antiquity, the diaconia and monastery of San Vito (cited in the Einsiedeln Itinerary) took them over, cited already in the itinerary of Einsiedeln. It is this church against which the arch's remains now rest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arch of Gallienus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
