I wonder how through all these 696 posts we did not come to the interpretation of "tartere portas" as the gates of Tartar?!
I recall that we discussed that somewhere in the Bible Jesus descended to Hell and locked the doors of the latter, I vaguely remember that was related to anchiton somehow.
Somehow a while earlier Alexander (the legend says, as we also discussed, and I even purchased a book) built the gates to confine the wild tribes and covered them with what was (though quite rarely and most probably through scribal mistakes, as we allso extensively discussed) called "anchiton".
Who were those wild tribes to the enlightened West? They were the tartars, and Russia was labeled as Tartaria on the maps.
