Category:Perge - Ancient Roman city gate

The outer gate was built during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus. Both sides of the gate were protected by high towers. The inner gate, also from the time of Septimius Severus, leads through the southern city wall from the courtyard into the city itself. The front arcades that adorn it are from earlier times and date back to the reign of Emperor Hadrian. When a new line of ramparts was constructed in the 4th century AD, the entire structure was incorporated into it. The central arch of the gate remained open to enable the passage of the traffic into Perge.
