Where would you place the Persian empire period in history relative to the birth of Jesus?

The Persian Empire, particularly during its Achaemenid period, flourished from the mid-6th century BCE to the late 4th century BCE. This places it several centuries before the birth of Jesus, which is traditionally dated around 4 to 6 BCE. By the time of Jesus's birth, the Persian Empire had already fallen to Alexander the great in the 4th century BCE, leading to the rise of the Hellenistic period. Thus, the Persian Empire's prominence predates the birth of Jesus by several hundred years.
