Ecbatana

Ecbatana was an ancient city in Media in the east of Iran. It is believed that Ecbatana is in Tell Hagmatana, near Hamedan. but the history of the city is controversial. According to Herodotus, Ecbatana was chosen as the Medes capital in the late 8th century B.C.E. by Deioces. Under the Persian kings, Ecbatana, situated at the foot of Mount Alvand, became a summer residence. Later, it became the capital of the Parthian kings, at which time it became their main mint, producing drachm, tetradrachm, and assorted bronze denominations. It is also mentioned in the Hebrew Bible under the name Achmetha. In 330 BC, Ecbatana was the site of the murder of the Macedonian general Parmenion by order of Alexander the Great.
