The Heidentor, also known as Heathens' Gate or Pagans' Gate, is the partially reconstructed ruin of a triumphal arch of the Roman Empire, located in what was the fort-city of Carnuntum [1]. Each facade of the structure was likely 14.5 metres wide [1]. A plinth in the centre probably held a statue of either a god or emperor [1]. The locals in subsequent centuries referred to the structure as a gate for the Roman city [1].
