L’ACCESSO AL PALATINO DAL VELABRO

Abstract

The investigations of the “Domus Palatina” project of the Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Antichità
di Sapienza Università di Roma on the south-western slope of the Palatine have made available
new data on structures known for a long time but inserted in their wider context can help to better
understand the topography of this portion of the city. In a concrete pylon it is proposed to recognize
the porta Romana, perhaps depicted in the relief of the Haterii.

Keywords: Rome; Palatine; Germalus; urban archaeology.
