In the 5th century BC, Darius 1, or Darius the Great ruled Persia. At the time, it was a true empire. He installed distributed governing, by dividing the country and assigning Satraps to rule the parts in his name. He also uniformed the monetary system, the language and he pretty much wrote the Imperialist 101. Clever chap, really.
King Darius I of Persia ruled for 36 years, from 522 BCE until his death in 486 BCE. He is known for his administrative reforms, expansion of the Persian Empire, and the construction of infrastructure, including the Royal Road. Darius also played a significant role in organizing and standardizing various aspects of the empire, such as currency and taxation.
Darius I ruled Persia through a combination of administrative reforms and military expansion. He reorganized the empire into provinces, or satrapies, each governed by a satrap to ensure efficient tax collection and local governance. Darius also established a standardized system of weights and measures, along with a unified currency, to facilitate trade and economic stability. His reign is marked by both infrastructural projects, such as the Royal Road, and efforts to maintain control over diverse cultures within the vast empire.
This changed over the centuries. Sparta was ruled by two kings, a council. and an assembly Athens was ruled first by a king, then an aristocracy, then by a tyrant, then by an assembly of the people. Persia was ruled by a king and his council.

Darius the Mede is a figure mentioned in the Book of Daniel in the Bible, traditionally thought to have ruled for a relatively short period, specifically around the time of the fall of Babylon to the Persians in 539 BCE. However, historical details about Darius the Mede are unclear, and some scholars debate his identity and whether he actually ruled as a distinct king. In contrast, Darius I of Persia, who is often conflated with Darius the Mede, reigned from 522 to 486 BCE. Consequently, the exact duration of Darius the Mede's reign is not definitively established.
