Salve!
I have a school project coming up, the topic being, as you may have guessed, the Persian empire. I was wondering if anyone had some good sources for info. You see, the only info I have been able to dig up was very generic, and lacking in depth. Since the project is only going on for about a week-and-a-half, I would prefer on-line stuff, since ordering(or borrowing) a book and reading it might take a little too long. All help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Do you mean the Achaemenid Persian empire (Persians who fought Alexander) or the Sassanid Persian empire (Persians who fought the Romans)?

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

Project over. We got a 5-(Norway uses 1-6, the higher the better).
Many thanks to everyone who posted.
