The Assyrian military, particularly during the Neo-Assyrian Empire (912-612 BCE), was renowned as the most powerful force in the Near East, effectively expanding its dominion through well-organized and ruthless military campaigns.
The phrase commonly inscribed by Assyrian kings, 'I destroyed, devastated, and burned with fire,' encapsulates their aggressive policies of conquest aimed at regions that resisted Assyrian domination, leading to widespread displacement and subjugation of conquered peoples.
