A relief depicting men bearing tributes to the Persian Emperor, on the eastern staircase leading to Apadana Palace, at Persepolis, Iran. Persepolis was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BC). Darius the Great was the third king of the Achaemenid Empire. He the Great built the greatest palace at Persepolis in the western side. This palace was called the Apadana. The King of Kings used it for official audiences. Access to the hall is given by two monumental stairways, on the north and on the east. These are decorated by reliefs, showing delegates of the 23 subject nations of the Persian Empire paying tribute to Darius I, who is represented seated centrally. The various delegates are shown in great detail, giving insight into the costume and equipment of the various peoples of Persia in the 5th century BC. There are inscriptions in Old Persian and Elamite.
