Description: The only book of
its kind to cover both the Achaemenid period and the thousand years following
Alexander's conquest, The Persians explores the period from the seventh century
BC, to the seventh century AD, and presents a comprehensive introduction to
ancient Persia.
Incorporating
recent research, and translated sources from a wide range of corpus material,
Maria Brosius explores the history of Persia, and brings a new understanding of
Persian society and culture and the structures on which these empires were
built: the king and his court; religion and culture; art and architecture.
From the lands
of Egypt to the Indus River, from the Russian Steppes to the Indian Ocean,
Brosius has provided an up-to-date account of the three empires of pre-Islamic
Iran, and discussing key topics such as women, religion and art and
architecture, she presents a clear survey of the history of these empires.
Providing
additional reading references along with frequent source citations, students of
ancient Persia will find this an invaluable addition to their course studies.
