In this episode of The Story of Ancient India, Lucas and Luna explore the Mauryan capital of Pataliputra — the largest city in the ancient world during its peak. Drawing on Megasthenes' Indica and archaeological remains, they reconstruct the city's massive wooden palisades, its 570 towers and 64 gates, the emperor's grand palace inspired by Persian Apadana halls, and the bustling markets and neighborhoods. They discuss how the city's location at the confluence of the Ganges and Son rivers made it a commercial hub, the role of the municipal commission described in the Arthashastra, and the eventual decline and rediscovery of the site. The episode also touches on the contrast between the city's imperial grandeur and the ascetic traditions of the Ajivikas and Buddhists who lived nearby.
