Period of Assyrian Domination

The pages included under the "Period of Assyrian Domination" tab are intended to provide general information about the rulers of Babylonia from 728 to 626 BC, including the two Assyrian kings who are not mentioned in the Babylonian king lists [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/ribo/kinglists/index.html] but had inscriptions written for Babylonian cities and deities. Click on the names of any ruler's name to the left (or below) to view some information about his reign. Note that the links to the left are arranged alphabetically, rather than chronologically (as they are below).

To learn more about the official inscriptions of these rulers, click on the "Inscriptions" link beneath the king's name. Note that this option is available only when you are viewing a king's bio page.
