Who divided the Persian empire into 20 provinces?
Darius the Great divided the empire into 20 provinces called satrapies. Also, he gave the 20 provinces Satraps, or governors. Then he made the roads bigger and more efficient.For example, one Greek historian wrote: "Nothing mortal travels so fast as these Persian Messengers ... these men will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night."-Herodotus, from the "History of the Persian Wars"
Why the Greeks won the battle of Salamis?
The Greeks lured them into two narrow straits which split them into two columns, allowing the Greek city fleets to attack them with rams from the flanks; the Greek ships were smaller and more manoeuvrable, and so had the advantage. They had also cunningly diverted a third of the Persian fleet to be sent to guard a back strait to Salamis, and so were not able to join in the battle, evening up the numbers on either side, and had pretended they were going to escape which kept the Persian crews sitting at their oars all night in a heavy swell to prevent this, and so they were exhausted the day of the battle.

Was Charlemagne emperor of Rome?
yes ----- The question of whether Charlemagne was Emperor of Rome was raised as soon as he was crowned emperor. Personally, I would say he was not, but others could disagree, and with some reason. The West Roman Empire was long gone, so clearly he was not emperor of that. The East Roman Empire still existed at the time he was crowned, under the name Empire of the Roman People. Today we call it the Byzantine Empire. Empress Irene, who was its monarch at the time Charlemagne was crowned, was quite upset that Charlemagne was crowned emperor of a country with the same name as her own, especially because it seemed to imply that he was the rightful ruler of her empire. Today, we use the term Carolingian Empire for Charlemagne's empire, and the term Byzantine Empire for Irene's, to avoid confusion. Neither term was used at the time. The Carolingian Empire dissolved, but was reestablished as what we call the Holy Roman Empire, a term used while it existed, though originally, it, too, was called the Roman Empire. The City of Rome, by the way, was not part of either the Carolingian Empire or the Byzantine Empire, but was part of the Papal States.
