520 _a"The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World, Vol 7: The Sassanian" by George Rawlinson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the history, geography, and antiquities of the Sassanian or New Persian Empire, delving into the societal structures and influences that shaped Persian civilization following the decline of the Achaemenid Empire. Rawlinson's work likely aims to offer readers a comprehensive understanding of the Sassanian period's significance and its cultural legacy. At the start of the volume, the author establishes the groundwork for understanding the Persians' condition under the rule of the Seleucid dynasty after Alexander the Great's conquests, leading to the eventual rise of the Parthians. The opening discusses the political, social, and religious transformations experienced by the Persians during this time, including a detailed account of their dissatisfaction with the Seleucid rulers who marginalized them despite their advanced civilization. It also sets the stage for the eventual insurrection led by figures like Artaxerxes, leading to the establishment of the Sassanian Empire, further exploring the tensions between Persian identity and foreign dominion.
