Excerpt from The Seven Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World, Vol. 2 of 3: Or the History, Geography and Antiquities of Chaldaea, Assyria, Babylon, Media, Persia, Parthia, and Sassanian or New Persian Empire The shape of Media has been called a square but it is rather a long parallelogram, whose two principal sides face respective ly the north-east and the south-west, while the ends or shorter sides front to the south-east and to the northwest. Its length in its greater direction is about 600 miles, and its width about 250 miles. It must thus contain nearly square miles.
