            the first Persian Empire (550–330 BCE) is both frustratingly
            immense and too restrictive, with extant evidence often not

            social and cultural dynamics, very careful methodology is
            necessary to tease out more sophisticated understandings.
            However, it is no longer sufficient merely to mine existing
            theory that appears to be adaptable; rather, ancient
