Satrap was the Persian word for a provincial governor in their empire. The persians divided their empire into 20 satrapies (provinces) for ease of governing, governed by a satrap who was responsible to the king and his council for internal and external security, collecting taxes, and overseeing the local governments of the cities, tribes and petty kingdoms within their province.
