Adad-nirari II

Adad-nirari II

Adad-nirari II is generally considered to be the first King of Assyria in the Neo-Assyrian period. He reigned from 911 [cite book|last=Bertman|first=Stephen|title=Handbook to Life in Ancient Mesopotamia|location=New York|publisher=Oxford UP|year=2005|page= p. 74] to 891 BC. Because of the existence of full eponym lists from his reign down to the middle of the reign of Ashurbanipal in the 7th century BC, year one of his reign in 911 BC is perhaps the first event in ancient Near Eastern history which can be dated to an exact year, although the Assyrian King List is generally considered to be quite accurate for several centuries before Adad-nirari's reign, and scholars generally agree on a single set of dates back to Ashur-resh-ishi I in the late 12th century BC.

Life

Adad Nirari II campaigned on numerous occasions against the enemies of Assyria in an attempt to continue his Father's efforts at protecting Assyria's borders [cite book|last=Bertman|first=Stephen|title=Handbook to Life in Ancient Mesopotamia|location=New York|publisher=Oxford UP|year=2005|page=p. 74] . Adad Nirari II campaigned against the forces of Babylon to the south, in which he subjugated the Aramean cities of Kadmuh and Nisibin. Along with vast amounts of treasure collected, he also secured the Habur region [cite book|last=Healy|first=Mark|title=The Ancient Assyrians|location=New York|publisher= Osprey|year=1991|page=p. 6] .

Adad-nirari succeeded his father, Ashur-dan II, and was succeeded by his son, Tukulti-Ninurta II, who continued to bring the armies of Assyria into the territories of her opponents [cite book|last=Healy|first=Mark|title=The Ancient Assyrians|location=New York|publisher= Osprey|year=1991|page=p. 6] .
