Largest prehistoric city in Europe? - diegis - 08-16-2014
Hello, I have a question for the most knowledgeable people here.
I found this info quite a while ago
http://www.smb.museum/en/museums-and-institutions/museum-fuer-vor-und-fruehgeschichte/research.html
<< Since 2010, Berlin’s Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte has been involved in an international archaeological research project in Romania, where the largest prehistoric settlement in Europe uncovered to date is currently being examined. The site is protected by four defensive walls with a total length of 33 km and covers an area of 17.2 square kilometres. After sondages (trial trenches) were dug over a period of five years from 2007 to 2013, archaeologists were able to date the fortifications to the late Bronze Age (about 14th or 13th century BCE). Through magnetometer surveys and systematic surface surveys it was possible to establish that dwellings once covered large areas inside the walls and that a city-like settlement must have existed.>>
And I am interested to know how large was for example Rome at its height in ancient times, if someone know?
