While describing Pataliputra, Megasthenes wrote in his descriptions that it had 570 towers and 64 gates. The Greek monarch Seleucus Nicator sent the diplomat Megasthenes to Chandragupta Maurya's court. Megasthenes noted in his description of Pataliputra that it was a large and beautiful city. It had a huge wall all around it. It included 64 gates and 570 towers. The two- and three-story homes were constructed from wood and mud brick. The king's palace was similarly made of wood and had stone sculptures as decorations.
