~ Persepolis ~ ⚔️

Persepolis was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire, founded by Darius I around 515 BCE. It was not a city for everyday life, but a vast stage for imperial ritual — where kings received envoys, armies, and tribute from across their lands. Its gates were guarded by colossal stone bulls, its halls lined with towering columns and carved reliefs showing the nations of the empire. Though burned by Alexander, its ruins remain one of the clearest windows into the power and vision of ancient Persia.
