This volume examines the state ideology of Assyria in the Early
Neo-Assyrian period (934-745 BCE) focusing on how power relations
between the Mesopotamian deities, the Assyrian king, and foreign
lands are described and depicted. It undertakes a close reading of
delimited royal inscriptions and iconography making use of
postcolonial and gender theory, and addresses such topics as royal
deification, "religious imperialism", ethnicity and empire, and
gendered imagery. The important contribution of this study lies
especially in its identification of patterns of ideological
continuity and variation within the reigns of individual rulers,
between various localities, and between the different rulers of
this period, and in its discussion of the place of Early
Neo-Assyrian state ideology in the overall development of Assyrian
propaganda. It includes several indexed appendices, which list all
primary sources, present all divine and royal epithets, and provide
all of the "royal visual representations," and incorporates
numerous illustrations, such as maps, plans, and royal iconography.
