satrapsaxon

Local rulers, installed governors, also known as Satraps.
===In all of the provinces of Persia, Darius personally installed a governor known as a satrap, who were basically local kings or rulers. Darius also apointed military leaders and tax collectors, one in each of the provinces in Persia. Then to make absolute sure that they were loyal to the real king, he sent out inspectors, also called the "King's Eyes and Ears." They were the ones that traveled the Royal Road to each province for a checkup on them.===
