The Assyrian Empire was the first state to achieve durable
domination of the Ancient Near East, enduring some seven centuries
and, eventually, controlling most of the region. Yet, we know
little about how this empire emerged from a relatively minor polity
in the Tigris region and how it managed to consolidate its power
over conquered territories. Textual sources, often biased, provide
a relatively limited source of information. In this study, Bleda S.
During examines the rich archaeological data of the early Assyrian
Empire that have been obtained over the past decades, together with
the textual evidence. The archaeological data enable us to
reconstruct the remarkably heterogeneous and dynamic impact of the
Assyrian Empire on dominated territories. They also facilitate the
reconstruction of the various ways in which people participated in
this empire, and what might have motivated them to do so. Finally,
During's study shows how imperial repertoires first developed in
the Middle Assyrian period were central to the success of the
Neo-Assyrian Empire.
