Naqsh-e Rostam is a necropolis carved into a cliff face of Mount Hossein in Fars Province, southern Iran, about 12 kilometres northwest of the Achaemenid capital of Persepolis. Four Achaemenid royal tombs — attributed to Darius I, Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I, and Darius II — are cut directly into the rock at a height of roughly 20 metres, their cruciform façades modelled on the gateway of an Achaemenid palace and dating to the late 6th and 5th centuries BCE. Each tomb façade carries a relief of the king standing on a three-tiered platform borne by representatives of the empire's subject peoples. Beneath and beside them, seven Sasanian rock reliefs from the 3rd and 4th centuries CE depict royal investitures and the equestrian victory of Shapur I over the Roman emperor Valerian, who kneels before him. A square stone tower called the Ka'ba-ye Zartosht stands in front of the cliff; its function — fire temple, archive, royal vault — is still debated.
