The Persian Empire existed in the general area of Iran in ancient times, and spread into the area of the Middle East, and modern Turkey and as far west as Libya in Africa and Greece on the Balkan Peninsula.
The first empire of Persia was the Achaemenid Empire of Cyrus the Great, which fought with the Greeks and lasted from around 550 BC to 330 BC, when much of its territory was conquered by Alexander the great. The subsequent Seleucid Greek Empire was succeeded in Persia by a smaller dominion known as the Parthian Empire, from 247 BC to 224 AD.
This kingdom fell under the rule of Ardashir I of the Fars Province in Persia, who created the Sassanid Empire (also known as the Second Persian Empire), which was mostly confined to SW Asia and lasted from 224 to 651 AD, when it was conquered by Islamic Arabs.
