Resumen

Il periodo che vide sull’altopiano iranico l’affermazione della supremazia della Persia nella seconda
metà del VI secolo a.C. fu un’epoca caratterizzata dalla mescolanza di realtà culturali ed etniche
eterogenee. I resti architettonici di questo periodo mostrano planimetrie di tradizione locale con
tratti iconografici di origine genericamente mesopotamica, e una veste architettonica di tradizione
ionica. Nel suo studio sulla regalità achemenide, Gh. Gnoli ha sottolineato come la componente
mesopotamica abbia costituito un riferimento fondamentale per la costruzione dell’ideologia dei
re persiani. La scoperta nei pressi di Persepoli da parte della Missione Archeologica Congiunta
Irano-Italiana della Porta di Tol-e Ajori, una replica modificata della Porta di Ishtar a Babilonia,
testimonia l’adozione di accorgimenti costruttivi tipicamente babilonesi, che si comprendono meglio
se attribuiti ad artigiani babilonesi. Tol-e Ajori estende il ruolo primario della cultura babilonese in
Persia dalle sole raffigurazioni di esseri fantastici negli edifici di Pasargadae a un intero monumento.
