The Achaemenid Persian Empire, at its greatest territorial extent under Darius I (r.522-486 BCE), held sway over territory stretching from the Indus River Valley to southeastern Europe and from the western Himalayas to northeast Africa. In this book, Matt Waters gives a detailed historical overview of the Achaemenid period while considering the manifold interpretive problems historians face in constructing and understanding its history. This book offers a Persian perspective even when relying on Greek textual sources and archaeological evidence. Waters situates the story of the Achaemenid Persians in the context of their predecessors in the mid-first millennium BCE and through their successors after the Macedonian conquest, constructing a compelling narrative of how the empire retained its vitality for more than two hundred years (c.550-330 BCE) and left a massive imprint on Middle Eastern as well as Greek and European history.

Die iranischen Gebiete, die seit dem Asienfeldzug Alexanders III. in den griechischen Fokus gerückt waren und Teil des Seleukidenreiches wurden, weisen auf Grund ihrer polyethnischen Bevölkerungsstruktur, ihrer kulturellen Vielfalt und ihrer multiplexen lokalpolitischen Strukturen in hellenistischer Zeit den größten Spannungsbogen zwischen Ost und West auf. Im Gegensatz zu den übrigen, hauptsächlich makedonisch geprägten hellenistischen Großreichen standen die Seleukiden daher vor der Aufgabe, ihre Herrschaftsausübung in den ‚Oberen Satrapien‘ an die indigenen Traditionen anzupassen und sich so gegenüber der griechisch-makedonischen und der lokalen Bevölkerung in gleicher Weise zu legitimieren.Um die Spezifika der Seleukidenherrschaft in den östlichen Satrapien herauszustellen, widmet sich die vorliegende Studie dem strukturellen Aufbau der seleukidischen Herrschaft in den östlichen Satrapien und der Interaktion zwischen den Herrschern, ihren Satrapen oder Funktionären und lokalen Dynasten bzw. der lokalen Bevölkerung im Osten. Zudem fragt sie nach einem langfristigen Konzept, das dem multikulturellen und polyethnischen Charakter des östlichen Teils des Seleukidenreiches Rechnung trug und dadurch eine eigene seleukidische Form der monarchischen Herrschaft entwickelte, die sich aus Rückgriffen auf fremde Traditionen, persönliche politische Erfahrungen und der im westlichen Raum verbreiteten hellenistischen Monarchie zusammensetzte.

Several gaps remain in our understanding of Neo-Elamite history, and this study seeks to determine whether a coherent picture of Neo-Elamite history may indeed be achieved. Based on detailed analysis of the available textual sources, both Akkadian and Elamite, this study offers a historical overview and interpretation of Neo-Elamite history and foreign relations. Particular attention is paid to the historiographic difficulties inherent in the sources.

"The Sasanian Empire was home to many religious communities. It was also a place of meeting and transformation. It was where old religions met more recent arrivals, and where both new and old were transformed as a result of this contact. While some religious communities shared more than others, and this for historical or geographical reasons, some form of contact and exchange with Zoroastrianism, the religion of the ruling dynasty and of many of the inhabitants of the empire was undoubtedly the rule for all. The studies in this volume explore the dynamics between these communities within the broad Sasanian religious and cultural context and encompass a diverse array of topics concerning, in particular, Jews, Christians, and Manichaeans. Some include the Roman East in their deliberations. Most, however, deal with the interaction of one or other Sasanian religious community with Zoroastrianism."--

In this new edition of Herodotus' "Histories," Nigel Wilson has revised the original Oxford Classical Text by the Danish scholar C. Hude, published in 1906 and last revised in 1927. As well as incorporating much of the valuable work on the text that has been conducted since the original edition, in particular that of J. Enoch Powell and Paul Maas, Wilson has taken into account new readings from over 80 papyri. In addition, clarity in the apparatus criticus has been improved by the collation of two previously neglected medieval manuscripts, which belong to the so-called Roman family. A number of passages remain puzzling, and Wilson proposes new solutions and provides plausible emendations wherever possible. This new edition is accompanied by a commentary, 'Herodotea', written by the editor, in which he explains many of the editorial decisions he made while revising this key classical text.
