The Aurelian Walls are a line of city walls built between 271 AD and 275 AD in Rome, Italy, during the reign of the Roman Emperors Aurelian and Probus
We entered the wall at the Gate of St Sebastian	These stairs led to The Museo delle Mura (Museum of the Wall)
The Museum contained information about the construction and defenses of the wall
	The mosaics are original, but it is unclear whether they were relocated here during a restoration
Looking down from the middle defensive level
	Still higher levels to climb
The top defensive position
Soldiers defended the City of Rome from these ramparts for hundreds of years
At street level you can see the expanse of the wall Buses stop near this gate and continue on the route of the ancient Appian Way
