Modern home of ancient Persepolis
I believe the answer is:
iran
'modern home of ancient persepolis' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for iran that I've seen before include "Persia some time ago" , "Modern-day Persia" , "Country of western Asia" , "It was known as Persia until 1935" , "Iraq's neighbour" .)
