Iran in Roman times. | People from Iran |
Before Roman times Iran was named Persia, and was an important state.
Kings of that time are called the Achaemenids. They fought famous wars with Athens
etc., but they are only mentioned here if they are referred to in documents dealing
mainly with Roman history. Alexander the Great destroyed the Persian empire and its people became a part of the Seleucid kingdom. In 247/48 BC the Arsacids revolted and created a Parthian kingdom. See further Parthia
