Interest and fascination in Achaemenid Persia has burgeoned in
recent years. It is time for a major new appraisal of the glorious
civilization founded by Cyrus the Great and continued by his
successors, the Great Kings Darius I, Xerxes and Artaxerxes I. This
volume offers precisely that: a sustained and comprehensive
overview of the field of Achaemenid studies by leading scholars and
experts. It discusses all aspects of Achaemenid history and
archaeology between 550 BCE and 330 BCE, and embraces the whole
vast territory of the Persian Empire from North Africa to India and
from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf. Topics covered in this title
include aspects of Achaemenid religion, administration, material
culture, ethnicity, gender and the survival of Achaemenid
traditions. The publication of the book is an event: it represents
a watershed not only in better appreciation and understanding of
the rich and complex cultural heritage established by Cyrus, but
also of the lasting significance of the Achaemenid kings and the
impact that their remarkable civilization has had on wider Persian
and Middle Eastern history. First published by I.B.Tauris in
association with the Iran Heritage Foundation
