Summary

Achaemenid Royal Road between Susa and Persepolis: Routes and Stations reveals significant challenges in pinpointing the exact locations of stations along the Achaemenid Royal Road, despite advancements in reconstructing its itinerary. The study leverages ancient sources, archaeological evidence, and toponymic investigations to propose hypotheses on station distribution. By analyzing texts from the Persepolis Fortification Archive, researchers aim to clarify the spatial organization of these stations, offering new insights into the logistical and administrative structure of one of the most important routes in ancient Persia.
