Freeman-pedia’s 5-page Classical Persia covers the often overlooked Persian Empire.  Overshadowed by the Greeks, Romans, Guptans, and Chinese; the Persians occupy an crucial role in the story of the Classical World.  Classical Persia covers all three Classical Persian empires (Achaemenid, Parthian, & Sasanian) as well as specifics like Cyrus the Great, the Royal Road, Darius I the Great, Zoroastrianism, Greco-Persian Wars, Qanats, Satrapies, Persepolis, Roman-Persian Wars, the arrival of Islam and the Silk Road.  There are also a timeline of Persian history, MVPs, maps, diagrams and what the College Board specifically wants you to know about this empire.  This is a .pdf file that is easy to print for your binder or project onto a screen for your class.
