During this period, the Persians were tribes to the east of the Persian Gulf, under the control of the Medes. They were farmers living off their fields and flocks with negligible resources to trade with. It was only at the end of this period that they gained control of the Medes, took over Babylonia, Assyria and the Middle East, and became a trading power as well.
