Favourite Ancient empire?

I Was Just curious On What Power Of The Ancient times You Favoured Most. For Me It Would Be The Achaemenid Persian empire. What Do You Guys Think?

I'll have to say Rome, with Babylon a close second.

I love how so far only two people didn't choose Rome. Both of which chose Persia.

Out of those options I would have to choose Rome, however my favourite ancient empire would have to be the Mayans.

>my favourite ancient empire would have to be the Mayans.

That's a bit of a misconception, unlike the Aztec or Inca, the ancient Mayans never really had an empire, just a collection of city-states like the Greeks. There was the League of Mayapan in the 12th-15th centuries, but I don't know if that counts as an empire, and it definitely doesn't count as ancient.

My favourite ancient empire would have to be the Achaemenid Persian Empire mostly because of Cyrus the Great( obviously).Also, the empire had such a huge impact on the world( Cyrus Cylinder). This too:

Man, Carthage is soooooo interesting. But Rome, of course…

I'm just so drawn to Assyria for some reason

Ancient Egypt, before the Ptolemies and the Greeks and Romans.

The Mughal Empire. But since that's not an option, the Achaemenid empire

The Mughal Empire Was In The Renaissance

Rome followed by Assyria.

I choose the Carthaginian Empire, i don't know why but i always loved the style they had.

Geopolitically classical Greece was more like the Maya (city states) while Rome was more like the Aztec (Empire)
