 | | Earlier surveys of Achaemenid presence in various parts of the empire tended to emphasize the scarcity of relevant material remains, a phenomenon that could, according to a scholar's adherence to modern ideologies, be interpreted as the result of imperial weakness, pragmatism or tolerance. | | | Chapter 2 (31-45) is also of an introductory nature and outlines the political and military history of Sardis and the city's involvement in imperial Achaemenid politics. | | | The iconography of most gold appliqués has strong Achaemenid affinities, which is also true for some pieces of jewelry addressed only summarily by D. These findings are likely to reflect elite practice in the living society, i.e. |

| | Persian history indicates that the eastern Achaemenid satrapies (provinces) - peopled by Bactrians, Sogdians and Scythians - seldomly accepted the authority of a new king before he had showed up in person with a grand army to claim what was rightfully his. | | | The Achaemenid empire did not have a true administrative center: there was no proper capital. | | | A conference held in 1979 at Groningen University, The Netherlands, for the first time brought together a small group of scholars whose primary field of interest was Achaemenid Persia. |

| | The concluding chapter draws these topics together into a theoretical comparison with the reaction of other defeated peoples as they were integrated into their opponents' society; the examples are offered to validate the conclusions drawn from the evidence presented in the earlier chapters. | | | Hardly any remains from the Achaemenid era have been excavated within the line of the Lydian fortification wall; most of those, as she herself says, are from a series of pits by the east face of the wall, and no associated occupation strata have yet been explored. | | | This proposition is demonstrated in nine chapters that describe and evaluate excavated evidence as well as historical texts, followed by five appendices documenting the details of the data from Sardis. |

| | Iranian Calendar |
| | The reason for adopting the Babylonian calendar was certainly political. | | | The first Iranian states were founded by the Medes (728-550 B.C.) and the Achaemenids (550-330 B.C.). | | | The fact that during the Achaemenid domination the Cappadocians borrowed the Zoroastrian calendar and not the official state calendar points to the deep roots of this calendar among Iranians, in particular as far as the everyday cultural and religious matters were concerned. |
