The Royal Road was an ancient highway reorganized and rebuilt by the Persian king Darius the Great (Darius I) of the first (Achaemenid) Persian Empire in the 5th century BC. Darius built the road to facilitate rapid communication on the western part of his large empire from Susa to Sardis.

King Darius I built the road to facilitate communication throughout the western portions of his empire. Archaeologists believe that some of the westernmost sections of the road may have been previously built by Assyrian kings and restored by Darius.
