Assyrian institutions

Assyrian institutions were the administrative and organizational structures that supported the governance, military, religion, and economy of the Assyrian Empire. Key institutions included the centralized royal authority, which coordinated governance; the military, essential for expansion and defense; temples, serving religious and economic functions; and scribal schools, which managed record-keeping and communication. These institutions ensured stability, control, and cultural continuity across the empire, enabling it to maintain power over vast territories and diverse populations.
