What was the name of Darius' new Persian capital?

I am trying to find the answer to that question also. The problem seems to be that Persia had different capitals at different times. Apparently Cyrus madePasargadae the capital; Darius I made Persepolis a capital, Persepolis is a Greek name for the Persian Parsa, but Susa, Mashhad, Ecbatana, Ctesiphon, Isfahan, Tabriz, and Tehran might also be correct answers. Ctesiphon may be the same as Isfahan.Alterate Answer:Persia at different points in history had different capitals. Persepolis, Ecbatana, Susa, Pasargade, and Babylon were considered capitals of Persia during the Achaemenid period. Seleucia became capital of Persia under the Seleucid dynasty. Ctesiphon became the capital of Persia under the Parthians and the Sassanids. Shiraz was the capital of Persia under the Buyids. Tabriz was the capital of Persia under Mongol and Turk rule. Isfahan was the capital of Persia under the Safavids. Mashad was the capital of Persia during the Afsharid dynasty and Tehran became the capital of Persia following the establishment of the Qajar dynasty. (FYI: Ctesiphon and Seleucia were within a few miles apart from each other and were in modern day Iraq. Isfahan and Ctesiphon are not different names for the same city).Persepolis.
