Excavations at Kaboutar Ahang have revealed stone age tools and pottery from 1400 to 1200 BC. According to [[Herodotus]], Ecbatana was chosen as the [[Medes]]' capital in the late 8th century BC by [[Deioces]].<ref name="Iranica"/> Under the [[Persian Kings|Persian kings]], Ecbatana, situated at the foot of Mount Alvand, became a summer residence. Later, it became the capital of the [[Parthian Empire|Parthian]] kings, at which time it became their main mint, producing [[drachm]], tetradrachm, and assorted [[bronze]] denominations. It is also mentioned in the [[Hebrew Bible]] ([[Book of Ezra|Ezra]] 6.2) under the name ''Achmetha'' (also spelled ''Ahmetha'', e.g. JTS Bible).

 

In 330&nbsp;BC, Ecbatana was the site of the murder of the [[Macedon]]ian general [[Parmenion]] by order of [[Alexander the Great]].{{citation needed|date=May 2014}}

Orang Yunani menganggap Ekbatana adalah ibukota [[:en:Medes|kerajaan Media]] yang didirikan pertama kali oleh [[:en:Deioces|Deioces]] (''Daiukku'' pada inskripsi [[Kuneiform|bahasa paku (kuneiform)]]).<!-- It is alleged that he surrounded his palace in Ecbatana with seven concentric walls of different colours. In the 5th century BC, [[Herodotus]] wrote of Ecbatana: <blockquote>"The Medes built the city now called Ecbatana, the walls of which are of great size and strength, rising in circles one within the other. The plan of the place is, that each of the walls should out-top the one beyond it by the battlements. The nature of the ground, which is a gentle hill, favors this arrangements in some degree but it is mainly effected by art. The number of the circles is seven, the royal palace and the treasuries standing within the last. The circuit of the outer wall is very nearly the same with that of Athens. On this wall the battlements are white, of the next black, of the third scarlet, of the fourth blue, the fifth orange; all these colors with paint. The last two have their battlements coated respectively with silver and gold. All these fortifications Deioces had caused to be raised for himself and his own palace."</blockquote>
