The name of the Golden Gate in Roman times was Porta septemtrionalis (“northern gate”) and it was probably through this gate that Emperor Diocletian († 316) entered his palace after he had renounced the imperial throne on May 1, 305. In the Middle Ages, the gate was called the “Roman Gate” (Porta Romae).
