The antagonism between the Persian and the Greek colonies on the Ionian coast of Asia Minor began with Cyrus I and continued for some 200 years until the Empire was destroyed by Alexander's Macedonians. This book looks at the arms, equipment and organization of these forces.
The Persian Empire grew in the vacuum left by Assyria''s destruction of the Kingdom of Elam (648 BC). Prince Teispes captured Anshan, once a stonghold of the Elamites. His father, Achaemenes is the person who is apparently responsible for training and organising the early Persian army and it is his name that is the beginning of the royal line of Achaemenian Kings. It is a dynasty which includes Darius the Great – the finest ruler of the Achaemenid era. The army he commanded included the infamous ''Immortals'', who formed the elite of the Persian army, their numbers always kept to exactly 10,000 men.
