The Persia
We can now look on the big enemy of roman empire, The Persia. After destruction of Alexander the great´s empire, the persia was rebuilt, and many huge cities were built there. Grand armies marched against Roman empire. Romans were stronger than Persia, but Persians lived in huge desert forts, and dry and warm conditions there can kill hundreds of soldiers...
Let´s look on one of the largest Persian cities, the Orathvon.
Persians used great egyptian and roman architectonic skils there, they built there huge obelisks and grand hanging gardens there too, with king´s magnificent palace. These hanging gardens are the main recreational area in the whole persian city.
Palace of the silver is the supreme palace of Persian king Dareios XVIII. It has many silver domes, and towers, and it is considered luxurioust building in whole Persia.
The tower of desert is a big shrine to old egyptian god Horus, now worshipped by Persians too. It is really massive, more than 1000 tons of sandstone were used to built it.
And, finally, the grand overwiew of the city.
