Can anyone please help me with Persian economy under Xerxes and Darius please?
When Darius was the leader the Persian empire was at its height, since he was tolerant of other cultures as long as they payed taxes the economy was pretty good, during this time he also expanded the Persian road system that included a mail system Under Xerxes the empire fell into decline the Persian wars devastated his economy and his intolerance of other cultures led to costly revolts and the demise of the Persian empire
