Porta Tiburtina (long shot)

[D B Campbell]

Do any of our Italian friends (or even those who have been fortunate enough to explore Rome) have a photograph of the Porta Tiburtina on the Esquiline? Inner face? Inscribed panels?

In case it jogs any memories, here is a photo of the gate:[attachment=0:2suxdrnh]<!-- ia0 Porta_Tiburtina_interior.jpg<!-- ia0 [/attachment:2suxdrnh]
Unfortunately, I can't see the inscriptions above the arch.
In case anyone is lurking in the area with a digital camera ( :wink: ) I am particularly interested in the middle one, which seems to be a little overgrown.

It's probably not good enough, but is this what you're looking for: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... r_side.JPG (make sure it's the large version).

Thanks, Tom. I actually saw that photo, but it didn't look quite right. Maybe mine is a very old one. In any case, as you probably realised, the inscriptions can't be seen in either photo. Pity.
