{"product_id":"the-neo-assyrian-empire-simonetta-ponchia-9783110690712","title":"The Neo-Assyrian Empire: A Handbook","description":"The ancient historians considered the Assyrian empire the crucial starting point of a new political system which was adopted by later empires. In modern historical research, this problem still needs to be investigated in a global perspective that studies the development of the imperial model through ages. Abundant epigraphical and archaeological sources can be used in investigating the expansionistic tacticts, the control structures, and the administrative procedures implemented by the Assyrians through a continuous effort of adaptation to evolving situations and changing needs. The book provides an updated outline of the history of the Assyrian empire and its neighbours, a detailed analysis of the technical and ideological aspects of the construction of the Assyrian empire, and of its long-lasting legacy in the Near East and in the West. For its broad theoretical framework, which includes the reference to studies of ancient and modern empires and imperialism, the book is intended not only for the specialists of Ancient Near Eastern history, but also for a wider public of Classical and Medieval historians and of historians interested in world and global history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simonetta Ponchia, Giovanni Lanfranchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110690713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110690712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Simonetta Ponchia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44860345286911,"sku":"9783110690712","price":181.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5b8636b-9884-4d7b-898e-4b0c12bf62f0.jpg?v=1709135879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-neo-assyrian-empire-simonetta-ponchia-9783110690712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
