The construction of the Aurelian Walls began in response to increasing external threats faced by Rome in the third century. These defensive walls were commissioned by Emperor Aurelian to protect the city from invasions and raids by various tribes and groups.
The project aimed to encompass a much larger perimeter than the earlier Servian Wall, reflecting the expanded boundaries of Rome at the time. The walls played a significant strategic role in securing the city and demonstrated a shift towards stronger military defenses within the Roman Empire.
