The 196 m wide structure, the largest of its kind in antiquity, was designed during Hadrian's reign (AD 117–138) in order to form a passageway underneath a large court in front of the monumental "Red Basilica" temple complex.

Therefore they blow up the ammunition depot in Bergama to prevent the capture of the depot by Greek forces.
