The Roman gates are very unusual: three tier structure with two arches and a double row of windows above. Current gates were constructed at the end of the 1st century AD and restored in 265 under the Emperor Gallieno. The gate derives its name from the "
borsarii
", or bursars - the Roman customs - taxmen who collected tall on the goods brought to the city (Verona was a prosperous municipium; Roman citizenship was granted in 49BC). On the top of the gate can still be seen the inscription of the name given to the city under Roman rule:
Colonia Augusta Verona
