Rome?
When did the Persian Empire ever reach Rome?
Are you perhaps refering to the Sassanian Empire at the eastern fringes of the Roman Empire and at the western fringes of the Chinese Empire?

And Persians had democracy too.
We had Senate called Mehregan!
"A Persian always stays calm... I am fine!"
You may want to limit your use of the !!!!!!!!!!!!

I share your pride in Persian history. Persia with thousands of years in civilized rule was invaded by the Arabic religion made for the nomad Saudi’s of 1400 years ago. There is a clash of mentality to say the least. There is nothing Persian about the mullahs and their fascist aspirations. Unfortunately, we will have their blemish on an otherwise proud and civilized history of Iran.

Herodotus, while praising the democracy of Athens and the Greeks, testifies to the comparative purity of Persian lives, their honesty and heroism in war, the simplicity of their habits, to their industry and thrift in struggling with the natural obstacles of poor soil and difficult terrain and to their love of agricultural pursuits, etc.
Herodotus also praised the Persian postal network and, with that praise, was the originator of the motto of the U.S. Postal Service.
"Not snow, no, nor rain, nor heat, nor night keeps them from accomplishing their appointed courses with all speed. (Volume 4, Book 8, Chapter 98) ".
Thanks for reminding!
