Cyropolis (Latin form of Gr. "Kuroúpolis" from Ir. *Kuru(š)-kaθa-), (literally "The City of Cyrus") was an ancient city founded by Cyrus the Great in northern Tajikistan in 544 BCE to mark the northeastern border of his Persian empire. Today the city is named Kurkath (or Kurkad short for Kurosh Kadeh) or Kurus katha (or Kurosh Kadeh).
