Informazioni su questo ebook

Assyrian Cities explores how urban centers in the Assyrian Empire served as strategic tools for imperial power, cultural expression, and innovation. The book examines the architectural history of cities like Nineveh, Assur, and Nimrud, revealing advanced urban planning and construction techniques. These ancient Mesopotamian cities were not just residential areas; their design reflected a sophisticated understanding of irrigation, defense, and social hierarchy. The book argues that the layout and infrastructure of Assyrian cities directly supported the empire's centralized authority and expansionist goals. By studying palaces, temples, and administrative buildings, one gains insight into the empire's social order and governance. The book progresses thematically, first introducing the materials and techniques used in construction, then exploring the social and political dimensions of urban life, and finally analyzing the legacy of Assyrian urbanism on subsequent civilizations in the Ancient Near East.
