About "Gate in Trier"

by Ivo de Rooij

About the artwork

Ancient Nigra gate inTrier, Germany. A relic of Roman times in Germany. The Porta Nigra is the northern gate of the 6418 m long city wall erected between 160 and 200 AD around Roman Trier, Augusta Treverorum. The gate is 36 m wide, 21.5 m deep and 30 m high.

The gateway is made up of matching sandstone blocks, without joints. The stones were originally connected by iron staples, similar to the stones of the Colosseum. Through weathering and soot deposits, the sandstone blocks, originally light in color, became black over the centuries. This gave the gate its current name in the Middle Ages. The original Roman name is not known.

Since the gate was intended for military use, only the upper floors have openings with arches in the shape of a window. Attackers who managed to overcome the outer gates could be pelted from all sides in the courtyard.
