Neo-Assyrian Empire appears on the map from 900 BCE to 612 BCE. At its greatest recorded extent, in 675 BCE, it covered about 1.40 million km².
One of the realms of Assyria. Assyria grew from the trading city of Assur on the upper Tigris, whose merchants ran caravans into Anatolia soon after 2000 BCE. After centuries as a regional kingdom it became a great power, and from the 9th century BCE its kings built the largest empire the world had yet seen.
