Database: Porta Ostiense

Located just west of the Pyramid of Cestius along the Mura Aureliane, this gate has a similar history to the Porta Asinaria. In 549, the treason of the n garrison allowed Totila and his to enter Rome via this gate and  the city. I think the Romans should have amended their guard screening exam, adding one key question: are you friends with King Totila?
