Answer:
Megasthenes was an ancient Greek historian, diplomat and Indian ethnographer and explorer in the Hellenistic period. He described India in his book Indika, which is now lost, but has been partially reconstructed from literary fragments found in later
Megasthenes, wrote that Pataliputra (as Patna was then called) was '22 miles in circuit, with a wooden wall pierced by 64 gates and 570 towers, rivalling the splendors of Persian cities such as Susa and Hamadan'
