The problem here is that, in both cases, a great variety of periodsare given the labels of Persian Empire and Assyrian Empire, when infact there were periods of small area coverage or different rulersand influence by the basic ethnic peoples and the ruling classes,which were sometimes foreign. And this line of thought oftenentwines both peoples as if they were the same at some periods.’Persian Empire’ has been applied spasmodically to periods between627 BCE to 1979 CE, while similarly Assyrian Empire’ has been usedto label periods from 25th Century BCE to 627 CE.
The main periods were Persia 549 to 330 BCE; Assyria 991 to 627BCE. But there will be many people who will claim all sorts ofperiods outside that so where do you go?
