Darius I restored order to Persia by implementing a series of administrative reforms that centralized governance and improved efficiency. He divided the empire into provinces called satrapies, each overseen by a governor (satrap) who was accountable to the king. Darius also standardized weights, measures, and currencies, facilitating trade and economic stability. Additionally, he constructed an extensive road system, including the Royal Road, which enhanced communication and military mobilization across the vast empire.
