===Architecture=== Persepolitan architecture is noted for its use of the [[Persian column]], which was probably based on earlier wooden columns. The buildings at Persepolis include three general groupings: military quarters, the treasury, and the reception halls and occasional houses for the King. Noted structures include the Great Stairway, the [[Gate of All Nations]], the [[Apadana]], the Hall of a Hundred Columns, the Tripylon Hall and the [[Tachara]], the Hadish Palace, the Palace of [[Artaxerxes III]], the Imperial Treasury, the Royal Stables, and the Chariot House.<ref>{{cite book |title=From Cyrus to Alexander: A History of the Persian Empire |author=Pierre Briant |publisher=Eisenbrauns |year=2002 |pages=256β258 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lxQ9W6F1oSYC&q=Persepolis+military+quarter&pg=PA257 |isbn=978-1575061207 |access-date=19 October 2020 |archive-date=20 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230420100932/https://books.google.com/books?id=lxQ9W6F1oSYC&q=Persepolis+military+quarter&pg=PA257 |url-status=live }}</ref>
