Imperium Achaemenidarum (lingua Persica antiqua 𐎧𐏁𐏂𐎶 Xšāça 'imperium'), etiam Imperium Persarum appellatum, antiquate fuit magnum imperium in Asia Occidentali et Africa septentrionali constitutum et a Cyro Magno conditum.

Religio

Quamquam non erat religio publica, tamen in imperio gentes variae haud paucos deos venerebantur. Deus commodus quem reges venerebantur erat Ahura Mazda, opinabile omnium auctor et consuasor regibus spectatus, cuius signum erat ignis.
