<span class="mw-page-title-main">Gates of Alexander</span> Mountain passes linked with Alexander the Great

The Gates of Alexander, also known as the Caspian Gates, is a term that refers to a mountain pass that is meant to be associated with Alexander the Great, and in antiquity, especially refers to one enclosed by a physical barrier to prevent an incursion from barbarian tribes, imagined as a symbolic boundary separating the civilized from the uncivilized world. Due to confusion over the exact location of this pass, this term had come to be used for multiple sites, including the original in Iran but later came to dominantly be used for a region in the Caucasus due to a confusion described already by Pliny the Elder in the first century. Only the passage at Rhagae between Media and Parthia, which Alexander crossed while pursuing Darius III, is said to be linked with the historical Alexander. Today, the term "Gates" refers, not to physical gates, but to several mountain passes in this region of the world which acted as "gates" from one area to another.
