Pataliputra was one of the most ancient and most famous cities of India. It was founded in fifth century B.C. Initially it was a small fort not far from the river Ganges. This city witnessed a lot of destruction. There were wars, fires, sieges. However, there were also peaceful periods when the city flourished. I read several term papers writing at an online custom writing service on the gold period of Pataliputra. One of these periods was the third century B.C. At that period the population of the city was about 300,000 inhabitants. Due to its favorable location the city was one of the major centers of commerce. This was the era of Mauryan Emperors. Unfortunately, those glorious years of prosperity faded away and the city plunged into the years of invasions. In the twelfth century A.D. the city was renamed into Patna, and Pataliputra vanished. What remains to us is a great amount of written source about the famous ancient city and a number of archeological findings. Nowadays Kumhrar guards the secrets of Pataliputra revealing only some short stories. Hopefully, the city of Patna will disclose more secrets of the ancient city. I believe that soon we will be able to see the beauty of Pataliputra.
