THE ANCIENT ASSYRIANS: Empire and Army, 883-612 BC

The rediscovery and excavation of the Assyrian civilization in the mid-19th century provided a great deal of visual evidence showing how this army evolved over three centuries. The recovery of wall reliefs and artifacts, coupled with the enormous amount of research carried out by Assyriologists since that time, has revealed the immense impact of the Assyrian Empire on history. Well illustrated in color.
