Samuel Ball Platner, Thomas Ashby, A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, PORTA SALARIA (search)
sari/a, as Jordan notes, may equally well mean Porta Pinciana. In GMU 87; R. ii. 405, it is called Porta Sancti Silvestri, because it led to the catacombs of S. Priscilla, where he was buried, though Magister Gregorius gives it under its correct name (JRS 1919, 19, 46). It was flanked by two semi-circular towers of brickwork, that of the west tower being perhaps the original work of Aurelian, below which were tombs faced with marble, wrongly described by Nibby (Mura di Roma 321) as bastions. The arch was of stone, with a brick arcade repaired in opus mixtum above it. It was seriously damaged in the capture of Rome in 1870; and the removal of its remains led to the discovery under the eastern tower of the tomb of Q. Sulpicius Maximus (see SEPULCRUM Q. SULPICII MAXIMI); while under the western tower was the round tomb of Cornelia L. Scipionis f. Vatieni (CIL vi. 1296). The modern gate, built in 1873, was removed in 1921 (Jord. i. I. 354; T iii. 10-11; PBS iii. II; Mitt. 1908, 286-290).
