A Patchwork Empire

Cambridge University Press eBooks, pp. 61–94

Abstract

From about 1300 BCE, during the reign of King Adad-nirari I, the Assyrian state first achieved its aspiration of being one of the club of great powers of the Amarna Age. It was able to projects its supremacy far beyond the boundaries of its former dominions, and its military power became truly formidable. Assyrian armies campaigned without any serious opposition in the territories of Hanigalbat, looting the former Mittani lands and making a vassal out of its king.
