This book investigates the practice of constructing cities in the ancient Near East. City building was an important component of how Assyrian and Syro-Hittite rulers of the Early Iron Age (c.1200–850 BCE) constructed their political identity. A unique contribution in its field, it brings together architecture and cultural history with the study of antiquity in the Near East.
