Neo-Assyrian Warfare

Neo-Assyrian warfare, prominent from the 10th to 7th centuries BCE in ancient Mesopotamia, was characterized by highly organized military campaigns aimed at conquest and expansion. The Assyrian army was known for its effective use of chariots, infantry, and archers, employing advanced tactics and siege technology. They often built their reputation on brutal warfare, capturing and deporting conquered peoples. This strategy not only weakened enemies but also integrated new territories into the Assyrian Empire. Their military prowess was crucial in establishing Assyria as a dominant power in the ancient Near East.
