Post 10: Darius

Darius was most definitely the best and most influential Persian leader. Darius is most noted for his innovative and incredible building projects, such as the Royal Road, a massive canal, and a bridge of boats. After years of disintegration, Darius united the Persian empire. He established a postal system and even helped the economy by having coinage, weights, and measures standardized. Religious tolerance was also practiced under the rule of Darius. And that is why Darius is so clearly awesome and obviously the most influential Persian ruler.
