About this audiobook
A vast empire built on tolerance, innovation, and conquest—how did Persia shape the ancient world? The Persian Empire, founded by Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BCE, was one of the most powerful civilizations of antiquity. Known for its efficient administration, religious tolerance, and the creation of the Royal Road, Persia connected cultures and facilitated trade across Asia, Africa, and Europe. This book explores the rise of the Achaemenid dynasty, the epic battles against Greece, and the empire’s influence on art, law, and governance. The empire’s legacy continued through later Persian dynasties, influencing Islamic civilization and modern Iran. If you’re fascinated by ancient empires and their impact, this book offers a deep dive into Persia’s extraordinary history.
