Do you want to move to the Byzantine Empire? If you do here is one thing that goes on like the new culture like Christianity. The military protection is really good and strong. Here are 3 ideas that the Byzantine Empire military had. One of the ideas were that in front of the outer wall, there would be a moat 300 feet deep and the inner wall was the highest stretching 40-70 high and 12 feet thick. Another idea is that the watch tower had an early warning system if they see someone coming. The last idea was that they would put a chain across the water so if any invaders like pirates. The chain will just catch the ship, so it won't get across to attack the capitol city. If there are ships with goods to trade then they would move the chain, so they don't get cough in the chain. That is the military protection that the Byzantine Empire had.
