The Persian Empire is greatest in area. Whether it was bigger depends on what criteria you want to measure the two against - population, wealth etc.
What else can I help you with?
Which was bigger the Greek empire or the Persian Empire?
The Persian Empire was larger than the Greek Empire at its height. The Persian Empire, particularly during the Achaemenid dynasty, spanned three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—encompassing a vast territory that included parts of modern-day Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and beyond. In contrast, the Greek Empire, primarily associated with city-states like Athens and Sparta, was more fragmented and did not achieve the same territorial expanse as Persia. Thus, in terms of land area and influence, the Persian Empire was significantly bigger.

How much longer was The Persian empire was in existence than egypts middle kingdon?

In contrast, Egypt's Middle Kingdom is typically dated from about 2055 BCE to 1650 BCE, lasting around 405 years. Therefore, the Persian Empire existed for about 185 years less than Egypt's Middle Kingdom.
What was the width of the roman empire?
The Roman Empire stretched from Spain to Iran and from Britain to Ethiopia. It had such areas as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Romania, North Africa, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, all the little East Mediterranean nations, and such. It was the third largest ancient empire. It was smaller than the ancient Chinese Han Empire and the ancient Persian Empire. But, the Romans lasted much longer than the Persians, and the Republic and Empire days lasted much longer altogether than the Chinese empire (and almost every other one that can be thought of). In all of world history, though, the Romans are number 16. America is number 9. The British Empire was number 1. It was 7 times larger than the Romans and 3.5 times larger than the U.S. at its height. I hope I helped.
