Ancient Persia,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Of all the great civilizations of the ancient world, that of Persia is one of the least understood. Josef Wiesehfer's comprehensive survey of the Persian Empire under the Achaeminids, the Parthians, and the Sasanians focuses on the primary Persian sourceswritten, archaeological, and numismatic. He avoids the traditional Western approach which has tended to rely heavily on inaccurate Greek and Roman accounts. Part of the freshness of this book comes from its Near Eastern perspective.
