The walls enclosed the seven hills, plus the fields of Mars: Paul was killed outside the walls to dishonor him.

How was this possible, since the walls you refer to were built over 200 years after his death?

Well, at least you’re thinking. Good question. The walls marked the official city limits of Rome. Those limits predated the walls. The dishonor was to be expelled from the city when he was killed.
