Alternatively, what seems to be a historical inaccuracy in "Seder Olam" has been explained in a different way. According to Rashi, the 34-year Persian period is the time span between the building of the Second Temple under Darius II in 352 BC (according to Jewish calculations) and Alexander the Great's rise to power in 318 BC. This timeframe, therefore, does not signify the end of the dynasties in Persia, but rather of their rule and hegemony over Israel before Alexander the Great rose to power. Likewise, the period of Herodian rule over Israel, namely, 103 years, refers merely to its hegemony over Israel while the Temple was still standing. The beginning of this period is reckoned during Herod the Great's reign in 35 BC and ends in 68 AD with the destruction of the Second Temple (based on Jewish computations).
