Fair. I know this is a common tactic for newer empires that take over older ones. Rather than constructing entirely new schemes of tax collection, economics, soldiering etc, most conquerors just change who is at the top while leaving the system more or less intact.
Almost everyone that conquered Persia, be they Greek, Arab, Parthian etc., all of them basically maintained the old social order.
