Zlatna vrata noću / Golden Gate at Night

 

Slavoluk Sergijevaca

Slavoluk Sergijevaca (često nazivan i Zlatna vrata), antički rimski slavoluk u Puli u Hrvatskoj. Postavljen je u spomen na tri brata obitelji Sergijavaca, posebno na Lucija Sergija Lepida, tribuna koji je služio u Rimskoj legiji, koja je sudjelovala u bitci kod Akcija, pa se pretpostavlja da je slavoluk izgrađen između 29 i 27 godine pr. Kr. Sergijevci su bili moćna obitelj u koloniji, te su zadržali svoju moć stoljećima.

U spomenik su uklesana imena Lucija Sergija, Gaja Sergija i njihove sestre Salvije Postume Sergije, koja je platila gradnju. Uređen je u kasnom helenističkom stilu, sa orijentalnim utjecajima. Reljef na slavoluku prikazuje ratnu kočiju koju vuku konji.

Portarata

Portarata (prema lat. Porta Aurata ili Aurea - Zlatna vrata), trg u centru Pule koji se nalazi s južne strane Giardina, a na početku Ulice Sergijevaca. Dobio je naziv prema lokalnom nazivu za Zlatna vrata (tal. Porta Rata) koja su činila ulaz u stari dio Pule smješten unutar gradskih zidina.

Trg Portarata nastaje prema projektu carskog arhitekta Pietra Nobilea iz 1824. godine koji se počeo realizirati nakon 1838. godine. Ideja projekta bila je odvajanje slavoluka s gradskim vratima od neposrednih okolnih zgrada i zidina, međutim u realizaciji su porušena i gradska vrata pa je slavoluk ostao slobodno stojeći spomenik u sredini tada zamišljenog trga.

Arch of the Sergii

Arch of the Sergii is an Ancient Roman triumphal arch located in Pula, Croatia. The arch commemorates three brothers of the Sergii family, specifically Lucius Sergius Lepidus, a tribune serving in the twenty-ninth legion that participated in the Battle of Actium and disbanded in 27 BC. This suggests an approximate date of construction: 29-27 BC. The arch stood behind the original naval gate of the early Roman colony. The Sergii were a powerful family of officials in the colony and retained their power for centuries.

The honorary triumphal arch, originally a city gate, was erected as a symbol of the victory at Actium. It was paid for by the wife of Lepidus, Salvia Postuma Sergia, sister of the three brothers. Both of their names are carved in the stone along with Lucius Sergius and Gaius Sergius, the honouree’s father and uncle respectively. In its original form, statues of the two elders flanked Lepidus on both sides on the top of the arch. On either side of the inscription, a frieze depicts cupids, garlands and bucrania.

Portarata

Portarata (from Latin Porta Aurata - Golden Gate), a square in the centre of Pula, located on the southern side of Giardini, and at the beginning of the Sergii Street. It was named after the local name for the Golden Gate (Porta Rata) which was the entrance to the old part of Pula, located within the city walls.

The square of Portarata is based on the project of imperial architect Pietro Nobile of 1824, which began to be realized after 1838. The idea behind the project was to separate the city gates from the immediate surrounding buildings and walls, but the city gate was demolished and the arch remained a freestanding monument in the middle of the square.
