*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', the north gate of Rome that leads directly into the [[Piazza del Popolo]] is mislabeled as the Porta Aurelia as though it is the same gate that would later be called the Porta del Popolo.

To add to the confusion, this gate is actually the Porta Salaria in real-life, whereas the gate to its west labeled the Porta Settimiana is actually the [[Porta Pinciana]] and the gate to its east labeled Porta Salaria is actually the [[Porta Nomentana]]. The real Porta Aurelia itself was located in [[Trastevere]] and was one of the western gates of Rome.

Porta Aurelia

The Porta Aurelia is a gate of the Aurelian Walls in Rome that is set at the summit of the Janiculum in Trastevere.

History[edit | edit source]

In Roman times, the Porta Aurelia was the starting point of the Via Aurelia, a western road that served as a vital conduit for trade with France. The gate was subsequently renamed the Porta San Pancrazio after Pope Urban VIII remodeled it in the 17th century.[1]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Porta Flaminia, mislabeled as the Porta Aurelia in game
  • In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, all of the gates of Rome are misidentified, though Shaun Hastings's database entries remain factually correct. Thus, although the database entry on the gate correctly describes it as being set on top of the Janiculum, a hill in Trastevere, the actual gate marked as Porta Aurelia in the game is the Porta Flaminia, the gate in front of the Piazza del Popolo. The proper Porta Aurelia is instead misnamed the Porta Appia. For convenience, this article assumes that, canonically, Shaun Hastings's research—being consistent with reality—is correct while the Animus 2.01 erroneously mislabeled the gates.
