Description
View of large stairway of Apadana at Persepolis in Iran. "The Apadana or Audience Hall of Persepolis (map 1) belongs to the oldest building phase of the palace complex, the grand design by Darius I the Great (r. 522-486). On this place, the great king received the tribute from all the nations in the Achaemenid Empire, and gave presents in return. One of the arguments to assume that this was the function of the Apadana, is the splendid relief on the eastern stairs, which consists of representations of all nations in the Achaemenid Empire,"--Livius.org
