At that time, the Lower Gate was the most important and therefore best protected entrance to the city! This was still secured with a drawbridge and a round arched frieze.

Suburban gate (the lower gate) was the most important and therefore the best protected. In turbulent times, the upper city gate remained permanently closed. Access was only via a drawbridge. It is also likely that there was a round arched frieze at the top, which can only be guessed at today.
