Royal Inscriptions of Adad-nirari III

Adad-nirari III of Assyria · c. 810-783 BC (reign of Adad-nirari III) · Kalhu (Iraq) · history

The Tell al-Rimah stela, recording tribute from 'Joash of Samaria,' and the Saba'a stele, recording tribute from Mari of Damascus, together argue for Adad-nirari III's continued dominance over the Levant during a period Assyria's own annalistic tradition otherwise records only thinly, making his inscriptions a rare fixed point for reconstructing the era's history.
