Historical background

Ecbatana, today's Hamadan in western Iran, was the capital of the Medes; Herodotus describes it with seven coloured rings of walls. The Persian kings used it as a summer residence, and Alexander the Great seized the royal treasure here in 330 BC. Under the Parthians it was again one of their capitals.
