title = "The court",
abstract = "The royal court was the political, administrative, and cultural core of the Persian Empire; it was the epicenter of dynastic ideology and imperial rule. A place of ritual and ceremony, the court augmented monarchic rule and fostered relationships between the throne and the Persian elite. The court was peripatetic and as it progressed around the Persian heartlands, the monarch's authority was made manifest to huge swathes of his subjects. Throughout the Empire, satraps emulated royal authority and established courts-in-miniature modeled on the Great King's court.",
