It appears to be based on some 1800s Romanticist work. Do yourself a favour and don't expect much any accuracy out of those - they were the prime purveyors of horned and winged Viking helmets and batwing axes after all...

Scale. (...did you actually read the thread...? ) Of the three realms mentioned though, the AS would seem like the only credible candidate for such a hypothetical project - being, after all, functionally the direct successor state of the old Achaemenid empire (although the Yervandunis up in the Caucasus might want to dispute that at lance-point...); hard to see what connection and interest the Ptolemies and Bactrians, based on quite different subject peoples and traditions, would have in such a specifically Persian institution.

Also, the Hellenes probably wouldn't whine any less than back when Alex started letting Iranians into the ranks of the Hetairoi...
