A watchman at a gate had the responsibility to keep an eye over traffic through the gate, opening or closing the gate if necessary. He kept an eye on the road to see who was coming, and possibly on the people and goods going through the gate to see that nothing suspicious happened.
Watchmen in general patrolled the towns and cities, watching for any dangers or illegal activities they might see. They also called hours in some places where there was some way for them to keep time.
