What was the largest walled city in history? How big was it?

Also, how difficult was it to defend?

Would VR be valid enough for you? One eye sees Moskva and one eye sees London

So, I saw in movies depictions, they sometimes use plate for the part shown in those pictures (e.g. game of thrones, most might have been leather, but the kings guard were clearly wearing steel)

Would that be practical?

I’m sorry what’s “standard”? Like as an armor part

It’s actually bronze base on the era and the other comments. I think they recycled enemy’s equipment

Since it’s not historical, I’d take that as a wall of solid copper

I mean…dirt and debris is much better anyway

This is fictional but: in a game they use plated to armor only the corners of important towers, which are polygonal - have weakness at corners?

I suppose a defender might do that and recycle the metal after reinforcements defeat the attacker

Ofc, I was wondering if there were some extremely rare case

Maybe after they’re relieved, all the metal were recycled into tools and weapons, for example

Isn’t lead very heavy and easily melted?

Exactly like LOTR. My brother played Shadow of War and there’s metal clad walls.

I thought: “This is the second reference to this method, why haven’t I seen it in fictions, ever? Maybe it’s actually an extremely rare historical thing?”

Like a rod that goes through the walls to hold bricks or walls together?

Not just in India, also in many countries AND in Game of Throne where they put dragon glass on walls to hold back the undead

If a metal pot was a status symbol, what would a 10 ton cauldron be?
