Sinopse

Persian Roads explores the vital role of road networks in the Achaemenid Persian Empire, demonstrating how these sophisticated arteries of transportation and communication shaped its dominance. The book reveals how the Persian Empire utilized its infrastructure not merely for movement, but as deliberately engineered instruments of imperial control. By facilitating rapid communication, troop deployment, and resource extraction, these roads enabled the Persians to govern a vast and diverse territory effectively. The book examines the origins, construction, maintenance, and decline of the Persian road system, with a focus on the famed Royal Road. It argues that the Persian roads were critical to the empire’s political, economic, and military success. For example, the Royal Road, stretching from Susa to Sardis, allowed messengers to travel at unprecedented speeds, ensuring swift communication across the empire.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the geographical context of the Persian Empire, then detailing construction techniques, and finally, analyzing the Royal Road and its economic impact. Combining engineering analysis with historical interpretation, Persian Roads provides a fresh perspective on the Persian road system, appealing to history enthusiasts and those interested in the intersection of infrastructure and power.

  • From Enlightenment To Revolution - Pitt Burke & Robespierre 1766-1794 - cover

    From Enlightenment To Revolution...

    Maximillian Robespierre, Edmund...

    History is often concentrated into short bursts of change, with long periods of shifting before and waves of alteration afterwards. Nowhere is this more obvious than the thirty year interregnum between the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. In this period, three figures stand tall; Pitt, the elder stateman who saw the need for genuine constitutionalism; Burke, the consummate parliamentarian, speaking for the glory of empire; and Robespierre, the legendary and controversial frontman of the French Revolution.William Pitt The Elder speaks about the need for key changes to the body politic. The first speech here predates the interregnum, being from 1738, when he was merely thirty, and covers a key factor in Britain’s colonial problems for the next two centuries, being the complete internal corruption of the army.Edmund Burke represents the height of Royalist sympathy as the age of revolution gets underway. He speaks on the need for conciliation with America after the disaster of the Stamp Act and revolution, on the need to punish Warren Hastings for treating his Asian holdings as his own empire to fill with his own corruption, and on the end of an era with the passing of Marie Antoinette.Finally, the age of revolution, both industrial and political, has begun. Robespierre argues for the dignity of man; for rejecting the divinity of royal authority in favour of that of the human spirit; against the death penalty, as being below the dignity of a truly humanist state; on enemies, internal and external, who push the people to reject their own interests for those of the powerful. This is but a small selection of the man’s incredible output - in 1791 alone, he gave three hundred and twenty-eight speeches.Spitting bile and flame in his last speech, which closes this volume, Robespierre truly inaugurates the era when revolution against centuries-old powers brought their end, and their nations found their renewal.
