It's pretty massive. I had no idea that it had deteriorated so much.
Yes, whole top storey gone! Probably between 11th-18thC, as top storey present on western gate buried by 11thC castle! :)
This said gates were servicing a purpose and Romans were eminently practical Horses&Carriages with steps... ???
there were streets that zig-zag down the steep slope and avoid the steps :)pic.twitter.com/3fGUQhNk6Z
Good! The perspective was difficult this said maybe the slope was more gentle and some wooden planks may have helped
