A detailed presentation of the monument excavated at Tol-e Ajori (Persepolis, Fars), of its architectural feature and of the three trenches excavated in 2014, as well as of the figural decoration in relief glazed bricks which allows striking comparisons with the Neo-babylonian Ishtar Gate at Babylon. The whole information suggests a dating in the Early Achaemenid period, before Darius I' s construction of the Persepolis Terrace.

A detailed presentation of the monument excavated at Tol-e Ajori (Persepolis, Fars), of its architectural feature and of the three trenches excavated in 2014, as well as of the figural decoration in relief glazed bricks which allows striking comparisons with the Neo-babylonian Ishtar Gate at Babylon. The whole information suggests a dating in the Early Achaemenid period, before Darius I' s construction of the Persepolis Terrace.File in questo prodotto:
