In Urszula Pawlik's story, Persia will appear - a huge empire that fell very quickly. Why? This is what this story will be about - how this state was governed, which kings were the most important in creating the foundations of the state - the behemoth, what role harems played in the state, but also in individual cities. Persia, having conquered many peoples and lands, did not impose its religion, customs or language in these satrapies, as it was said at the time. It treated the conquered peoples with dignity. Persepolis will also appear in this story - one of the four capitals of Persia, which was extremely rich and from which Alexander the Great, after destroying and burning it, took away tons of gold and valuables. To this day, Persepolis has not been completely rebuilt, but you can visit what has been discovered. Book under discussion: The Persians. The Age of Great Kings Author: Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones
