At present time, there is a similar example to the throne hall and the palace museum, where the successor of the Achaemenid kings (Shah of Iran) stored and displayed royal treasures in the rooms and galleries adjacent to them, as in the famous hall called "The Peacock Throne" (Stoneman, 2015) in Golestan Palace in Tehran. The treasury of Persepolis, which contains a wide variety of items collected from distant parts of the Achaemenid Empire, shows a clear and interesting similarity to the Babylonian Museum.…”

Abstract:This review of recent books about Alexander the Great and related topics focuses in particular on how much attention scholars have paid to the eastern aspects of the history and historiography of the period. It traces the identification of Alexander as an essentially ‘western’ figure back to the period of the Enlightenment, and shows how the work of scholars in the 18th century set the terms of the subsequent debate. It goes on to show how work on the Alexander Romance displays a far broader and inclusive range of intellectual approaches than traditional Alexander historiography, and suggests that the study of the historical Alexander would benefit from seeing Alexander as belonging in a Near Eastern context as well as a Greek or Macedonian one.
