The double door (Porta Gemina) was built on the remains of an earlier door with a decorative function of the entrance to the ancient theater. Simple constructions with two arched passages with three half-pillars are decorated with composite capitals. The relief wreath connects the whole assembly into a harmonious whole. In the upper part of the arch there are slots for lowering the grilles that closed the door. In the upper central area, there is a white marble plaque mentioning Lucius Mencius Priscus, who built one of the city's aqueducts at a personal expense of 40,000 sesterces.

The Twin Gates (Porta Gemina) is one of the few remaining gates after the city walls were pulled down at the beginning of the 19th century. It dates from the mid-2nd century, replacing an earlier gate. It consists of two arches, columns, a plain architrave and a decorated frieze. Close by are a few remains of the old city wall.

Not far from the Arena is one of the old city gates that was built in the 2nd century AD. It’s called the Twin Gate because there are actually two gates side by side. Rumor has it that the double gates were necessary to allow more townspeople into the city during gladiator fights and other major town events. The gates are very well preserved and open up to a central part of the old town where people still hang out. In fact, it can get pretty crowded during the day when tourists are enjoying the surrounding shops.
