The Hellenistic Gate
After entering through the Roman Gate, one comes to the Hellenistic gate, which dates back to the 3rd century BC.  I don't know why the Romans thought the city needed another gate, especially because the Hellenistic Gate is the most imposing building of the city and was a formidable bulwark, far better suited to protect the city with its twin towers and its horseshoe-shaped courtyard at the back. The towers had three floors and were crowned by a conical roof.
