A stunning portrait of the magnificent splendor and enduring legacy
of ancient Persia The Achaemenid Persian kings ruled over the
largest empire of antiquity, stretching from Libya to the steppes
of Asia and from Ethiopia to Pakistan. From the palace-city of
Persepolis, Cyrus the Great, Darius, Xerxes, and their heirs
reigned supreme for centuries until the conquests of Alexander of
Macedon brought the empire to a swift and unexpected end in the
late 330s BCE. In Persians, historian Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones tells
the epic story of this dynasty and the world it ruled. Drawing on
Iranian inscriptions, cuneiform tablets, art, and archaeology, he
shows how the Achaemenid Persian Empire was the world's first
superpower--one built, despite its imperial ambition, on
cooperation and tolerance. This is the definitive history of the
Achaemenid dynasty and its legacies in modern-day Iran, a book that
completely reshapes our understanding of the ancient world.
