1. Do we know how many Roman cities were walled?
2. And do we know how many had a second circuit wall?
3. And do we know how many times the first wall was breached in a siege but the second was held against the attackers?
The last question obviously cannot be answered by archaeology but it would be interesting to know if the building of a second wall was militarily worthwhile.
