But that's true.

I believe it is claimed that they had that percentage of the "urban" population, which is more likely to be true.

Yes of correct , in 330 BC most cities were located in Mesopotamia, Anatolia , Iran, Cyprus or Egypt, all under Persian control, Italy had some cities especially in The South, same with South Iberia, there were a few cities in Germany (South) and France but They were small and very few, mm then there's China which had some large ones, There were some in Sri Lanka and in India, and some early Mayan cities but still little ones and thaaaaaaaaaats it

The Achaemenid Empire was dead and gone by 323BC, let alone 1AD.

The language is known as Aramaic. In Iran (which was never its main area), it is spoken by non-Muslims from the western areas.

Literally fuck off.

The language of the administration was Aramaic, not the official language of the Persians nor the court itself so also wrong.

>I think it's wrong
Well you are wrong. The super majority of urban settlements and cities all primarily were located in Western Asia at that time. The Persians had dominion over them and that coupled with verified accounts from anthropologists and archeologists have shown this to be true.

You don't have to prove they existed.
You don't have to prove they traded with such Empire.
Instead, you have to prove they were actually subjugated or subordinated to the Empire's capability to collect tributes, enforce laws, and exercise fiscal pressure.

Only in that case I will agree such proto-cities were an effective part of the Empire.

That's what I said. Achaemenid Empire is a government.
