Darius made his capital Persepolis
Darius made his capital Persepolis, in the south of Persia. He built highways, maintained postal service across his empire and encouraged commerce. He built a canal 150 feet wide, linking the Red Sea and the Nile. He reformed the empire's money and revised its administration, dividing the empire into twenty provinces, called satrapies.
I think the underlined clause should be "Darius made Persepolis his capital" or "Darius designated his capital Persepolis" because I don't know the then place name of Persepolis.
I'd like to know what do you think about my thought.
Thank you in advance for your help.
