Pir-e Magroun mountain is located 43 km northwest of the city of Sulaymaniyah; and in the historical kingdom of Adiabene. Two almost identical rock reliefs, Mirquili and Rabanah, are carved on its western slope about 4 km away from each other. The style of execution and the dress clearly place these works within the Parthian period, however, a detailed study is still necessary regarding their exact date and attribution. The present article demonstrates the authors’ attempt to address these issues through investigation of comparative works and through examination of the political/religious history of Adiabene.
