So I was recently doing some research on the Achaemenid Empire and its administration when I learning something I was unaware of. Apparently there were different levels of satrapies (provinces): by that I mean there were about seven or so Great Satrapies and under them were more main/minor satrapies. Basically what I'm wanting to know is this: did the Great Satraps have a different title then their subordinates or were they all just called Satraps? Same for the provinces, did the Great Satrapies have a specific title or were they all just Satrapies? Hope this makes sense!
