Il portale monumentale, in bugne di marmo e travertino, era posto all'ingresso della certosa di Santa Maria degli Angeli. Alla fine dell'800, quando dopo l'unitΰ d'Italia i frati abbandonarono la certosa, divenne l'ingresso dell' "Ospizio Margherita di Savoia per i poveri ciechi" e successivamente del museo. Le bugne di marmo sono realizzate rilavorando elementi architettonici delle Terme di Diocleziano. In particolare si riconoscono un capitello ionico e parti di una cornice con ovuli e dentelli della facciata scenografica della natatio Il portale costituisce la palese testimonianza della progressiva spoliazione della decorazione delle Terme, proseguita con la costruzione della Certosa e conclusa con lo sfruttamento intensivo dei marmi per la produzione di calce.

The Baths of Diocletian (Latin: Thermae Diocletiani, Italian: Terme di Diocleziano) were public baths in ancient Rome. Named after emperor Diocletian and built from AD 298 to 306, they were the largest of the imperial baths. The project was originally commissioned by Maximian upon his return to Rome in the autumn of 298 and was continued after his and Diocletian's abdication under Constantius, father of Constantine.(Submitted on March 4, 2025, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
