Clivus Scauri
Unless otherwise indicated, pictures on this page © Marco Prins and Jona Lendering. Photos can be downloaded and used for non-commercial purposes, but you have to acknowledge Livius.
The street from the church of SS. Giovanni e Paolo on the Caelian hill is connected to the Palatine through the Clivus Scauri. To support the northern street front -which was later included in the medieval church- seven arches were built. The most western one dates back to the third century. Access to the Clivus Scauri was (and is) obtained through the Arch of Dolabella.
