The Hadrian's Arch was constructed in 131 AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. It was once the city gate connecting the original town of Athens (now called Plaka) with the Roman quarters. On each side of the arch is an inscription: on the west side facing the Acropolis, it reads This is Athens, the ancient city of Theseus while the opposite side reads This is the city of Hadrian and not of Theseus.
