I don't know how many of you ever saw the artwork that the fabulous Nick Lay did for us to match my words when I said the Achaemenid Persian king Darius reminded me of a modern business CEO, so just sharing it here:pic.twitter.com/PZlKy7PALT

Can you tell me more about the Darius image please? It's brilliant.
. Sure. Darius (called "the Huckster" allegedly) had great managerial and mercantile skills apparently. I compared him to "the CEO of PersiaCorps" and Nick (who has always done our art) created this for the website (where it's kinda buried&hard to find).
It's brilliant. I'm a historian of the Persian Empire & I've written about Darius for years. Yes, he was devoted to red-tape. I need to show this to my students.
Sorry to lay "the huckster" thing on you. Obviously you know that better than I do. I thought the art was inspired myself. Nick is wonderful.
No apology needed! It's an inspired reading of Darius. It really captures him.
Ha! Thanks. I appreciate it.
