Abstract

This study analyzes the significance of waterways, especially rivers, within the political ideology of Achaemenid rulers to define its nature as frontiers or means of communication between regions of the Persian Empire. We analyse some case studies through Greek sources and Persian inscriptions; the results are read in the perspective of the perception of the spaces of the empire by the Great King.
