THE PERSIANS
European history describes the Persian empires mainly through the
history of the Greeks and Romans who regarded them as politically,
culturally, and socially inferior. In short, to them the Persians were
barbarians. Yet this Indo-European civilisation was one of the most
highly developed of the ancient world. Its society, with its many
different languages, cultures, and religions, had a profound and
continuing influence on the West.
This study vividly introduces the reader to the history of Persia
in its own right; from the heights of the Achaemenid dynasty
(559–330
BC
), the first monarchy to create a world empire, to the
heterogeneous empire of the Parthians (247
BC
–
AD
224), and the
powerful Sasanian empire (
AD
224–651), epitomised in the rule of
Khosrow Anushirvan, ‘Of the Immortal Soul’.
The only book of its kind to cover both the history of the
Achaemenid period and of the thousand years following Alexander’s
conquest, and including chapters on a wide range of separate issues
such as society, economy, gender, power, and defence, this book is
the essential beginner’s guide to ancient Persia and ideal for students
and general readers alike.
