Mura serviane (Servian Wall)

The origins of the Servian Wall are traditionally attributed to the Roman king Servius Tullius, who reigned from 578 to 534 BC. Under his successor Tarquinius Superbus, the wall is said to have been further reinforced and especially heightened in the area of the Agger Tarquinii. However, the remains visible today date from the 4th century BC. After the Celtic conquest of Rome following the Battle of the Allia, the censors commissioned the reconstruction of the wall in 378 BC.
