The Servian Wall (Latin: Murus Servii Tullii, Italian: Mura serviane) was a defensive barrier constructed around the city of Rome in the early 4th century BC. The wall was up to 10 meters (32.8 ft) in height in places, 3.6 meters (12 ft) wide at its base, 11 km (7 mi) long, and is believed to had 16 main gates, though many of these are mentioned only from writings, with no other known remains.The wall was allegedly named after the sixth Roman King, Servius Tullius. Although its outline may go back to the 6th century BC, the currently extant wall was probably built during the later Roman Republic, possibly as a way to prevent a repeat of the sack of Rome during Battle of the Allia by the Gauls of Brennus. Due to the ease with which the Gauls entered the city, it is conjectured that at some time previous to this, Rome had been forced by its Etruscan rulers to dismantle any significant prior defenses.
