Italian Archeologists Find Commoner’s Neighborhoods In Persepolis



An Iranian-Italian archaeological team has discovered the first traces of urban settlement in Persepolis. Construction of the city began in 520 B.C. under Darius the Great, and lasted almost 70 years. The team found evidence that common people lived in the beginning construction of the city, and this is a huge find. these people probably worked for the emperor during construction and when the emperor actually settled into the city itself.
