About the Event
The Achaemenid Persian Empire and Imperial Transformations in the Ancient Near East, the second Achaemenid Workshop, brings together scholars whose research pertains to the history, structures, and impact of the Achaemenid empire.
The program focuses on the emergence, fall, and transformation processes of the Persian-Achaemenid Empire (6th–4th century BCE), contextualized by preceding developments in the period of the Neo-Assyrian Empire under the Sargonids (7th century BCE) and by an outlook on the early Seleucid period (3rd–2nd century BCE).
About Achaemenid Workshops
The Achaemenid Workshops (AchWorks) are a series of international conferences that endeavor to revisit, reassess, and reformulate (the state of) Achaemenid scholarship.
