Ancient Persia

Ancient Persia

Of all the great civilizations of the ancient world, that of Persia is one of the least understood. Josef WiesehÃ¶fer's comprehensive survey of the Persian Empire under the Achaeminids, the Parthians, and the Sasanians focuses on the primary Persian sources--written, 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.
