A proposito di questo titolo

In 1453, the greatest siege of the medieval world reached its climax. This episode follows the final 53 days as Sultan Mehmed II's massive army encircled Constantinople by land and sea, facing the crumbling Theodosian Walls defended by fewer than 7,000 men under Emperor Constantine XI. We explore the giant bombard built by the Hungarian engineer Urban, the massive chain across the Golden Horn, and Mehmed's audacious plan to drag his fleet overland. Lucas and Luna walk through the key moments: the failed relief fleet, the mining under the walls, the final assault on May 29th, and the last stand of the last Roman emperor. They discuss the legends—like the angel who would save the city—and the hard truths of what fell that day: not just a city, but the thousand-year Byzantine Empire. No previous episode has covered the siege itself in detail; here we focus on the human choices, tactical gambles, and sheer desperation on both sides.
