While describing Patliputra, Megasthenes wrote in his descriptions that it had 570 towers and 64 gates.
The Greek monarch Seleucus Nicator sent the diplomat Megasthenes to Chandragupta's court. Megasthenes noted in his description of Patliputra that it is a sizable and lovely city. It has a massive wall all around it. It includes 64 gates and 570 towers. The two- and three-story homes are constructed from wood and mud brick. The king's palace is similarly made of wood and has stone sculptures as decorations. It is fenced for keeping birds and surrounded by gardens. He also described what he noticed in his writing. He stated that each time the emperor comes in public, it is a cause for a tremendous royal celebration. He was born in a palanquin made of gold. An armed woman typically surrounds the king. He worries that someone will attempt to kill him. Before he eats, he has specialised staff taste the food. He never spends two nights in the same bedroom.
