HISTORY
This imposing construction, one of the tallest on the Ancient Roman hill, offers a bird’s eye view that stretches from the Circus Maximus to the “Palatine Stadium”, and from the Caelian to the Aventine Hill and the Baths of Caracalla, through to the dome of St. Peter’s.
The Arcate were built between the reigns of Domitian and Maxentius.
Consisting of two rows of very tall and narrow arches, recalling bridge and aqueduct structures, they are evidence of the engineering brilliance of the Roman constructors who made it possible to extend spaces and buildings on the top of the Palatine where the very nature of the environment seemingly made this impossible.
For a truly unforgettable experience visit the Arcate Severiane at sunset. You’ll be dying to go back one day!
