Hecatompylos

Saddarvazeh or Hecatompylos was an ancient city in west Khurasan, Iran, which was the capital of the Parthian Arsacid dynasty by 200 BCE. The Greek name Hekatompylos means "one hundred gates" and the Persian term has the same meaning. But the title was commonly used for cities which had more than the traditional four gates. It may be understood better as the "Many Gated". Alexander the Great stopped here in the summer of 330 BCE and it became part of the Seleucid Empire after Alexander's death.
