Aurelian Walls
The Aurelian Walls are a continuous circuit of brick-faced concrete fortifications built around Rome in the late 3rd century AD. The circuit comprised a long curtain wall with regularly spaced square towers and multiple gates that controlled major roads leading into the city.

As it stood in AD 401
The shape it held in its prime.
A continuous, long curtain of reddish-brown brick-faced concrete, punctuated by square tower blocks every c.30 metres and topped with crenellated parapets. The lower courses show a rougher stone or concrete batter at the base, sometimes patched with lighter stone inserts. Wall heights vary where sections were doubled; gates are large arched openings often aligned with major roads, and some stretches run beside tree-lined streets or abut freestanding monuments.
