Persia was divided into satrapies by Darius I, the third king of the Achaemenid Empire, around 520 BCE. He established 20 satrapies, each governed by a satrap, or provincial governor, to help manage the vast empire more effectively. This administrative division allowed for better control and taxation of the diverse regions within the empire.
