A Sketch of Road Traffic in Persian Achaemenid Empire
The Persian Empire of Achaemenid was a vast empire with many ethnic groups.In order to govern its vast territory and people,the empire built a relatively well-developed network of roads and supporting facilities,which were well constructed and maintained,with safe and well-managed traffic.On this basis,the Persian Empire was able to achieve a smooth flow of people within its borders,and long-distance travelling became possible.Therefore,commerce and trade activities could be carried out on a wider scale in the Eurasian continent.The construction and management of road traffic during the Persian Empire effectively maintained its governance at that time,promoted the connection of long-distance roads between the East and the West,and laid the foundation for the formation of the western section of the Silk Road in the future.
