The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World, Vol 7: The Sassanian or New Persian Empire / The History, Geography, And Antiquities Of Chaldaea, Assyria, Babylon, Media, Persia, Parthia, And Sassanian or New Persian Empire; With Maps and Illustrations.

The text provides a chronological account of the later Persian realm, surveying its condition under the successors of Alexander and during Parthian rule, the emergence of a native dynasty that reasserts Iranic identity, and ensuing political, religious, and cultural changes. It evaluates foreign relations with Rome, internal uprisings and policy shifts, and the social influence of the priesthood alongside administrative and military structures. The narrative is supported by maps, plates, inscriptions, and genealogical material, and includes focused discussions of art, architecture, coinage, and monumental remains to reconstruct institutions, society, and evolving tastes across the period.
