Answer: Religious tolerance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike many other great rulers throughout history, the Persian emperor Cyrus was tolerant of members of other religions. The empire he ruled at that time was the largest in the world. In such circumstances, many conquered peoples, different cultures and religious affiliations found themselves within the borders of Persia. Emperor Cyrus was tolerant of them and did not impose his own religious beliefs on anyone.
