The Servian Wall, Rome, Italy.
The Servian Wall served
as a protective defence around the city of Rome. It was built in the early 4th
century BC.
The wall was 11 km long, with a height of 10 metres and a
thickness of 3.6 metres wide at its base.
The wall served Rome well keeping
Hannibal out of Rome. It became unnecessary as Rome expanded and the Aurelian
Walls was built.
