A brilliant feat of resurrection (Tom Holland, author of Dominion), offering a stunning portrait of the magnificent splendor and enduring legacy of ancient PersiaThe 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 palacecity 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 LlewellynJones 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 worlds first superpowerone built, despite its imperial ambition, on cooperation and tolerance.
