Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones

King and Court in Ancient Persia 559 to 331 BCE

Explores Achaemenid kingship and argues for the centrality of the royal court in elite Persian society. This book also explores the representation of Persian monarchy and the court of the Achaemenid Great Kings from the point of view of the ancient Iranians themselves and through the sometimes distorted prism of Classical and Biblical sources.
