The Porta San Paolo is one of the southern gates of the Aurelian Walls in Rome, and is among the most impressive and best preserved of the original gates of the entire city walls.

It stands at a fork between two ancient roads, the Via Ostiensis and another road that ran west to the Tiber along the approximate line of the modern Via Marmorata.

For many years, Piazza Testaccio was the commercial heart of the district and home to one of the historic local markets of the capital, which today is located in via Galvani.

Mercato Testaccio is a local food market in the Testaccio neighbourhood. A district in the south-east of the centre of Rome, rich in history and known by many as a foodie hotspot.

The Lungotevere is named after the Monte Testaccio, a relief formed in ancient times by the accumulation of debris and shards (testae in Latin) from the nearby Emporium.

Via Marmorata takes its name from the large deposits of marble and stone that came to Rome by river or by land and were piled up in this place awaiting sale or processing.

The most ancient bridge in Rome crossed river Tiber just downstream of the Tiber Island, in correspondence with the former ford that, during the protohistoric age, was a required stop along the north-south way, at the feet of the Aventine Hill.
