What was that guy's problem anyway?

Persian as a whole or just the Achaemenid?

Not enough greased slave boys.

Nothing. All empires eventually fall.

>>880395
Parthia mixed Greek elements with Persian, whereas Sassanids wanted to be full Persian

>Sassanids tried to erase their history
Patently bullshit. The Sassanids routinely venerated the Achaemenids, used them as the basis of Iranian nationalism, and wanted to return the Persian Empire under them to the same boundaries as those under Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great.

The Sassanids even made numerous references on their inscriptions and surviving records we have as well as from Roman and Byzantine own sources of claiming lineage from the Achaemenids. Where from this do you get them trying to "erase" the legacy of the Achaemenids?

Oh shit my bad I misread >>880395 with >>880268 this posts.

As for the Arsacids, I believe the Sassanids only obliterated direct monuments of the Arsacids otherwise they don't exactly shit on them.
