abstract
  • Unlike the other gates of the Aurelian Walls, the Porta Pinciana was not constructed alongside the wall in the reign of Emperor Aurelian. Rather, it was built in the early 5th century by Emperor Honorius through the adaptation of a previously existing service entrance. A popular legend during the Middle Ages claimed that Byzantine general Belisarius, who defended Rome against the Ostrogoths, had his eyes gouged out his Emperor Justinian I and reduced a beggar lingering near the Porta Pinciana. It was said that when questioned about his involvement in the blinding, Emperor Justinian denied it, whereupon he abruptly diverted the topic to the rebuilding of the Hagia Sophia.
