Spartan Mora regiments at Battle of Plataea
#86
Sorry I would have better clatified that the Isthmos fortification was mostly (not all) haphazzard fortification.
The easiest constraction would be a ditch eith earth and palishade probalby incorporating Corinthian garisson outposts/watchtowers and the stone fence used for olivegroves up to this day. Some parts were of better construction likevcitywalls. It would have been expensive to maintain so it was left to ruin.

Established urban centers were well fortified. No argument here.

As I said in previous post, the first proper fortification was made by Byzantines and the whole fortification was finally dismantled by an Ottoman army in 1460.

Kind regards
