<p>Unlocated gate in the Servian Wall probably on the *Aventine (*Muri: Aventinus), known only from textual sources, especially Varro’s catalogue of gates (<i>Ling</i>. 5.163: <i>Lavernalis</i>, sc. <i>porta</i>; further Paulus, in Festus 105); its name was derived from a nearby cult site of the goddess Laverna (Varro, <i>loc. cit</i>.; cf. Paulus, <i>loc. cit.</i>). Since Varro’s catalogue lists the gate after the *Porta Rauduscula and the *Porta Naevia, the Porta Lavernalis is supposed to have been situated further W, on the S slope of the Aventine’s main hill where the modern Via di Porta Lavernale, running allegedly above an ancient road, crosses the course of the Servian Wall (Scagnetti, Richardson, Coarelli). Yet there is virtually nothing to corroborate the site of the gate within reasonable limits; hence our map does not even assign an index number to it.</p>
