The Persians came in the 6th century BC as a great power seeking to incorporate parts of southeastern Europe as provinces into a centrally ruled and administered empire. While Persias foothold in Europe was tiny, distant, and brief, and the contact is usually viewed in terms of conflictthe GrecoPersian wars, the conquests of Alexander, the numerous wars between Rome and IranEuropes interaction with ancient Persia was neither shortlived nor conflicting: it was the beginnings of a complex relationship between East and West that continues to this day. This book explores that relationship in detail.
