A Companion to the Achaemenid Persian Empire offers a perspective in which the history of the empire is embedded in the preceding and subsequent epochs. In this way, the traditions that shaped the Achaemenid Empire become as visible as the powerful impact it had on further historical development. The work not only breaks new ground in this respect, but also in the fact that, in addition to written testimonies of all kinds, it also considers material tradition as an equal factor in historical reconstruction. This comprehensive two-volume set features contributions by internationally-recognized experts that offer balanced coverage of the whole of the empire from Anatolia and Egypt, and across western Asia to northern India and Central Asia. Comprehensive in scope, the Companion provides readers with a panoramic view of the diversity, richness, and complexity of the Achaemenid Empire, dealing with all the many aspects of history, event history, administration, economy, society, communication, art, science, and religion while illustrating the multifaceted nature of the first true empire in world history. This unique historical account presents multiregional dimensions. This important resource: deals with all the many aspects of history, event history, administration, economy, society, communication, art, science, and religion; investigates recently discovered or accessible issues such as court life, written communication, leisure activities, gender roles, etc.; examines all kinds of available sources to consider those predecessors who influenced Achaemenid structure, ideology, and self-expression; includes extensive bibliographies in each chapter for use as starting points for further research. 410 0$aBlackwell companions to the ancient world. 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology) 607 $aIran$xHistory$yTo 640 607 $aIran$xAntiquities 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a913 700 $aJacobs$b Bruno$f1954-$0459536 702 $aRollinger$b Robert 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746979903321 996 $aA companion to the Achaemenid Persian Empire$93573896 997 $aUNINA
