Clivus Scauri

The Clivus Scauri now begins at the church of San Gregorio al Celio, and runs along the side and underneath the buttresses of the Basilica of Saints John and Paul.

The street name occurs only in documents of the 6th and 10th centuries but is probably ancient, and may be the vicus Scauri of one inscription.

[1] It probably owes its origins to the Aemilia Scauri family, possibly Marcus Aemilius Scaurus.

On the right opposite the Piazza Santi Giovanni e Paolo are brick remains from the third century, consisting of a row of tabernae (small shops), with traces of a second floor.

The final stretch of the road leads to the Porta Caelimontana, preserved as the Arch of Dolabella.
