Rome: Aurelian Wall, Arch of Dolabella-Silanus (1864 photo)
Rome: Arch of Dolabella-Silanus (Simelli 1864-6;BSR Parker Archive)
The
arch of Dolabella-Silanus in the Caelian Hill was erected in AD 10 in
the reign of Augustus, when Dolabella and Silanus were consuls, as
named in its inscription. Brickwork was added on top for the aqueduct
of Nero to the Palatine.
Arch and aqueduct were later incorporated into the Aurelian wall. When this albumen print was taken by Carlo Simelli in the mid-1860s, the street was named via S Guiseppe et S Paolo. Now it is named Via de S Paolo della Croce.
