Description
The Achaemenid Persian Empire was the world's first superpower, built on cooperation and tolerance. 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. The empire, stretching from Libya to the steppes of Asia and from Ethiopia to Pakistan, was ruled by the magnificent splendor of its Achaemenid kings, including Cyrus the Great, Darius, Xerxes, and their heirs.
