Modern Description: The rebuilt "Valerian" city wall generally followed the line of the ancient Themistoclean Wall but expanded eastward in order to include Hadrian's new city.
[Judith Binder: Valerian Fortifications: a term applied to a variety of Post-Herulian Walls or Post-Herulian rebuilding: since Zosimus I 29 refers to an overhauling of the Themistoklean circuit in the reign of Valerian, earlier scholars, lacking a chronological fix, naturally assigned to the reign of Valerian what are now known to be Post-Herulian constructions; Travlos, J. 1971, 387, 587, Index s.v. Valerian Wall; see Post-Herulian Wall; Themistoklean City Wall Wal19-20, Wal34; Part II nos. 19 (the Beulé Gate), 162 ]
