Aria (Greek: Ἀρ(ε)ία Ar(e)ía, آريا; Latin Aria, representing Old Persian 𐏃𐎼𐎡𐎺 Haraiva, Avestan 𐬵𐬀𐬭𐬋𐬌𐬬𐬀 Harōiva) was an Achaemenid satrapy centered on the city of Herat in present-day western Afghanistan. In classical sources, Aria has sometimes been confused with the greater region of ancient Ariana, of which Aria formed a part.General info from Wikipedia.org
