Persia is the historical name for the region that is now modern-day Iran. It was home to one of the world’s greatest civilizations, dating back to the Achaemenid Empire (c. 550–330 BCE), founded by Cyrus the Great. Persia remained a major cultural and political force for centuries, with later dynasties such as the Parthians, Sassanids, and Safavids shaping its history.
