About the lecture

In this module, we think about the nature of the Persian Empire, focusing in particular on: (i) the depiction of the subject peoples of the Persian Empire on the eastern staircase of the Apadana of Persepolis; (ii) the list of subject peoples in the foundation charter of the Apadana of Susa (DSf); (iii) the difference between how conquered peoples were treated by the Romans and how they were treated by the Persians; and (iv) the depiction of subject peoples of the Persian Empire on the Tomb of Darius at Naqsh-e Rustam.
