Porta Pinciana is a gate of the Aurelian Walls in Rome.
The gate was built under the emperor Honorius in the early 5th century.
[2] During the Middle Ages a legend told that the Byzantine general Belisarius, who here had defended Rome against the Ostrogoths in the siege of 537–538, was refused admission by the Romans.
The gate remained closed until the early 20th century.
