Postage stamps and postal history of Iran : ウィキペディア英語版 | Postage stamps and postal history of Iran
This is a survey of the postage stamps and postal history of Iran. == Pre-stamp era == In the pre-stamp era an ancient system of couriers operated throughout the Persian empire.〔Rossiter, Stuart & John Flower. ''The Stamp Atlas''. London: Macdonald, 1986, p.230. ISBN 0-356-10862-7〕 At a very early stage, these couriers used the ancient route from Babylon to Kermanshah, up to Hamadan -- the classic Ecbatana -- touching Tsagros in transit. This royal route changed in the course of time. According to ancient sources like Herodotus and Xenophon, Cyrus, King of Persia paid close attention to the communication network. From Xenophon we learn that Cyrus had stations and stables built to facilitate the couriers' missions and their efficient delivery of messages from the central power to the provinces. It was not a postal service as we know it today and it was not accessible to everyone.
