History
No longer extant, the Porta Fontinalis is only known via textual and epigraphic references. Presumed to be a gate of the Servian Wall, the Porta Fontinalis lay in the Campus Martius, west of the via Lata. It may have been the original point of issuance for the Republican roads known as the Via Flaminia and the Via Salaria.
