Darius followed Lydian tradition and minted coins gold coins “darics” and silver coins “sigloi”, stamped with insignia. He also introduced a new weight, the “karsha”, in the shape of a pyramidion.

I went to school on December 14th, 2012 just like I had done any other day. I was a sophomore in high school. My favorite class that year was Drawing & Painting, not because I was good or anything, but because it was an easy A class where I can just try to be creative to the best of my abilities. Since it was towards the end of the semester, I was almost done with my project. I remember we were painting on canvases using acrylic paints. I was painting a tree, with a wooden chair attached to it.…
Between 1792 and 1750 B.C.E., Hammurabi was an emperor of Mesopotamia. Hammurabi had a great army when he was emperor and was able to keep his empire strong. He had such great war tactics that he was able to gain control of Sumer and Akkad once again and reunite Mesopotamia to almost exactly how it was under Sargon. Not only was he good at war tactics, but he was good at keeping peace among his people. He made sure to make sure Sumerian ways would continue to exist. Hammurabi came up with a set…

As his title suggests, Cyrus the Great was highly regarded by his subjects, as well as people born years after his passing. “Father” to the Iranians, and “Liberator” to the Babylonians, Cyrus earned every title he was given. A compassionate, but successful military leader, Cyrus taught tolerance for religious diversity through his actions as King, and immediately became one…
Alexander was driven to discover and conquer as much land as he can. It was important that back then in order for an empire to be strong it must be in control with as much land as possible. On his journey in the middle east he stumbled upon modern day Jordan where the Jewish people inhabited that land. According to one book, “the greater part of the area belonged to the kingdom of Jordan – is the broken table-land round Jerusalem, roughly corresponding with the territory known in Roman times as…
The Persian Empire, which began as a series of loose nomadic tribes, were united by Cyrus the Great and eventually grew to become one of the largest and most powerful empires during its time. There were many factors in determining the nature and limits of this empire, with the geography of the region being one such factor; this was particularly important in defining the limits of the Persian Empire during its early phases and later on when it had reached its peak. Although geography played some…
I will argue that Cyrus has perfected the techne of being a leader, as supported by Socrates 's views on power, temperance and virtue. By practicing these qualities, Cyrus practices the true arts and improves the character of those around him. Cyrus’s ability to practice the techne of leadership is significant because it serves as an example to other leaders, specifically those of the Greeks. In Gorgias, Socrates teaches that temperance is the ability to control or discipline one’s appetites…
narrative and thematic development” (61). Yet, this continues as he finds the “epic form, based upon scattered kernels of historical oral traditions, produces a fictional narrative”, which is problematic as these historical events are corroborated by the Cyrus Cylinder (539 BCE), the Nabonidus Chronicle (ca. 540 BCE), Mursili 's Ten-Year Annals (ca. 1295 BCE), the Tang-i Var Inscription (ca. 706 BCE), Sennachrib 's Siege of Jerusalem…
