ARTAXERXES I - PERSIA RISES PART 5 - ACHAEMENID PERSIAN EMPIRE

Persia Rises - Part 5

This is the first series dealing with Iranian/Persian history and the Achaemenid Persian Empire. Eventually I would like to cover all of the various empires that rose up in the lands and regions of what is now present day Iran.

Inheriting the crown with his sword arm, Artaxerxes would rule the Persian Achaemenid Empire longer than any of the previous King of Kings. For 41 years, Artaxerxes would guide the empire into directions his predecessors would not. Long stretches of peace and construction marked his reign.

However, it wasn't all peace and stability for the Persian Empire. Egypt would again rise in an attempt to throw off the yoke of Persian rule and her ancient enemy the Greeks were still rabble rousing among the frontier satrapies.

This episode covers the entirety of Artaxerxes life and rule, albeit summarized.
