Chapter 10: Artaxerxes III: The Instability Continues

During Artaxerxes II’s reign, the Persian Empire struggled. It faced many challenges, and revolts broke out throughout the empire. Artaxerxes II’s ineptitude in dealing with and suppressing these revolts left room for his successor to be perceived as weak if he could not restore peace. So, Artaxerxes III came to the throne with a clear ambition.

Under the new king, the Persian Empire saw a series of effective military operations designed to ensure that the empire would not fall apart. Artaxerxes III’s ruthlessness and military strategy made him an effective emperor. While the foundation of the Achaemenid dynasty was shaky, it held on under the watchful and brutal eye of Artaxerxes III.
