Episode The Walls That Saved Constantinople
Theodosius II's great land walls held off Attila the Hun, the Avars, and the Arabs for a thousand years. This episode follows their construction, the earthquakes that tested them, and the secret of their triple-line design. We visit the ruins of the Blachernae palace, meet the architect Anthemius, and hear how the walls outlived the empire that built them.
