History[]
Early walled cities, like Mycenae, legendary home of Agamemnon, did not look like Castles in the medieval sense. They were simply heavy walls without towers or sometimes even battlements. However, before the advent of powerful siege engines, the only way to siege a fortified city was to try to starve the defenders out.
