520 1 $a"Beginning in the sixth century B. C. E., Persian kings ruled a vast, culturally diverse empire that stretched from northern Libya to central Asia." "In her cultural and political history of the development of this dynasty, Lindsay Allen - classicist and scholar of ancient Iran - surveys written sources, art objects, warfare, politics, and archaeological sites, supplementing the historical framework with descriptions of daily life during Persian rule. She traces the evolution of the monarchy, showing how it fostered unprecedented international communication and cultural exchange, and describes how the Persian expedition into Greece in the early fifth century B. C. E. became a defining moment that established a European identity unique from an Asian one. Examining the rediscovery of the royal capitals at Persepolis and Susa, Allen illuminates the legacy of Persian imperial traditions. Throughout, lavish illustrations bring to life the traditions of this ancient Middle Eastern civilization and finally place Alexander's invasion within a Persian context."--BOOK JACKET.
