Mura Aureliane e Acquedotto

Non credo possa esserci maggior promiscuità tra archeologia e sviluppo urbano...

Il complesso archeologico situato all'interno del Mibact direzione Cinema di Piazza Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, offre una vista dell'acquedotto Claudio e delle Mura Aureliane molto bello e in un punto ben conservato.

Tratto delle Mura Aureliane conservato molto bene, ma situato in una posizione che non consente di apprezzarlo quanto dovrebbe, visto che bisognerebbe fermarsi in situazioni sicuramente molto scomode. La conservazione è comunque ottima e spicca su tutto la bellezza della muratura in mattoni e l'abilità dei muratori dell'epoca.

Roma surları ve su kemeri. Bir Roma mühendislik eseri. Bütün tahribata rağmen ayakta kalma gücünü göstermiş.

Belle.

It’s amazing that these walls are still standing with in the city. They were built between 270 and 275 A.D. by emperor Aureliano to defend the city from possible attacks by barbarians. About 12.5 km of the original 19 km of the wall still remains. At this location they’re not very easy to access but she can still get close sending places still touch the wall. There is no charge.

These ancient walls meander throughout Rome and are not hard to find, especially if you are on foot. As I walked back to our hotel I noted every nuanced portico and doorway along the Via Cammidina. Along the way I passed the stately Hotel Arcangelo Roma and a portion of the ancient Roman Aurelian Wall. The wall was constructed under duress and as an emergency measure to protect Rome from the barbarian invasion of 270. It took only 5 years to build. Amazing what duress will do to a construction project. But then it’s good to have a collection of slaves to build your massive project in a hurry. The Aurelian Wall was contrasted by the modern Harry’s Bar, Rome, on the famous Via Vittorio Veneto, called the most elegant road in Rome. The newly constructed Largo Federico Fellini road took me to the beautiful Borghese gardens, close to the Via Po and our Roman residence, the Hotel Albani. A long but beautiful walk through some amazing historic sites. I kindly suggest that you make a visit by bike to the Aurelian Walls with the guys from "Not for Tourist Rome". They are highly professional: give you a bottle of water, an earphone to listen to the explanations during your cycling tour and keep the group tided together being 2 guides accompanying the people, one in the front (talking) and the other at the rear. With this tour you have a good feeling of the life at that time, passing through and around Caffarella Valley, Appia Antica Park, Terme di Caracalla, Porta San Sebastiano, Porta Metronia, Porta latina, Via Latina, Catacombe San Callisto, Circo di massenzio, Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella. Amazing places!! Only for 10 euro! And if you need to rent a bike, they have for 8 euro!
