Which destructive outcome occurred at Constantinople when the Theodosian Walls' construction prioritized aesthetics, leading to variable layer consolidation?

💡 Explanation

Localized collapse occurred due to inconsistent Rammed Earth consolidation. Insufficient and uneven compaction during construction led to variable density; because weaker sections were prone to differential settlement/failure, therefore collapses initiated at these points, rather than uniform damage.
