Fortress Hatra. New evidence on ramparts and their history

New architectural and chronological evidence reveals the complex construction phases of Hatra's ramparts, dating primarily to the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE. The study provides insights into the fortress's defensive structures, challenging previous assumptions about their development timeline. By analyzing structural features and historical records, researchers reconstructed the evolution of these fortifications, highlighting their strategic significance during Hatra's peak as a Parthian stronghold. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of Hatra's military architecture and its role in ancient Mesopotamia.
