Assyrian administration

The Assyrian administration was a highly organized system that governed the ancient Assyrian Empire, which flourished from the 10th to the 7th century BCE. It featured a centralized government with a king at the top, who held absolute power. Below him were various officials responsible for different regions and functions, including tax collection, military oversight, and justice. The empire was divided into provinces, each managed by appointed governors. This structure allowed for efficient control over vast territories, enabling Assyria to maintain order, expand its influence, and manage diverse cultures within its borders.
