Xerxes' exploits are famous, but what about Irdabama, a successful landowner who controlled her own wine and grain business? Or the ruthless queen Parysatis who murdered her enemy after a game of dice? This book is the first to reveal the fascinating picture of women and their economic and political importance in the Persian empire.
