In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten sind zahlreiche lokale Archive und andere Primärquellen der Achämenidenzeit neu erschlossen oder weiter aufgearbeitet worden, darunter insbesondere das Tontafelarchiv aus der Festungsmauer der Zitadelle von Persepolis und die Korrespondenzen der Satrapen von Baktrien und Ägypten mit ihren Untergebenen. Zahlreiche Beiträge dieses Bandes versuchen, die Vorgänge, die diese Quellen dokumentieren, als Protokolle von Abläufen innerhalb eines reichsumspannenden Netzwerks der Verwaltung zu verstehen und einzuordnen. Dabei werden wiederkehrende Muster erkennbar, und es zeichnet sich eine Systematik von Hierarchien und Strukturen ab. Zu den Bereichen, die die Verwaltung regelte, gehörten u.a. die Versorgung von Reisenden und damit die Sicherung der Kommunikation zwischen dem Reichszentrum und seinen Provinzen, aber auch der Unterhalt von Arbeitern, die zur Verrichtung ihrer Dienste aus anderen Provinzen ins persische Kernland entsandt worden waren. Andere Beiträge konfrontieren die Primärquellen mit Informationen, die die klassische Überlieferung zur Verwaltung des Achämenidenreichs bietet. Bei dieser Gegenüberstellung dient die Primärüberlieferung als Korrektiv und Interpretationshilfe. In Kombination führen beide Herangehensweisen zu ähnlichen Ergebnissen: Nicht Umbrüche und spontanes Krisenmanagement, sondern Kontinuität und Stabilität erweisen sich als bestimmende Charakteristika der Reichsverwaltung und als wichtige Garanten für die beispiellose Ausdehnung und die Beständigkeit des ersten Weltreichs der Geschichte.

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.

The product of twenty years' research, this is the first book to study the way religious concerns permeated Achaemenian culture, deeply influencing such varied things as categories of space, time, number, and causality; constructions of nature, humanity, and moral order; institutions of law, education, and kingship; practices of diplomacy, tribute, irrigation and gardening (including the sumptuous royal gardens designated as "paradises"). Particular attention is devoted to the role of cosmogonic myths, dualistic ethics, demonological beliefs, the ideology of royal charisma, the sense of Persia as a sacred center, and the conviction that Achaemenian rulers bore unique responsibility for restoring the world's lost perfection and realizing God's plans for creation: a task to be accomplished by reuniting the globe's tragically fragmented peoples.

The first full-scale account of a Persian king vilified by history Xerxes, Great King of the Persian Empire from 486-465 B.C., has gone down in history as an angry tyrant full of insane ambition. The stand of Leonidas and the 300 against his army at Thermopylae is a byword for courage, while the failure of Xerxes' expedition has overshadowed all the other achievements of his twenty-two-year reign. In this lively and comprehensive new biography, Richard Stoneman shows how Xerxes, despite sympathetic treatment by the contemporary Greek writers Aeschylus and Herodotus, had his reputation destroyed by later Greek writers and by the propaganda of Alexander the Great. Stoneman draws on the latest research in Achaemenid studies and archaeology to present the ruler from the Persian perspective. This illuminating volume does not whitewash Xerxes' failings but sets against them such triumphs as the architectural splendor of Persepolis and a consideration of Xerxes' religious commitments. What emerges is a nuanced portrait of a man who ruled a vast and multicultural empire which the Greek communities of the West saw as the antithesis of their own values.
