Senacarib's Assyrian Empire

assyria was surrounded by enemies, but was strong enough deal with it. Sargon's armies would sack the euratian city of mushashi and the kingdom would become obedient to the assyrians. Such was the might of the assyrian empire that we can see a rare pact by the babylonians and the elamites against the assyrians. The chaldean babylonians had gathered the support of the elamite, aramians and arabs in an attempt to keep their king maduc apladina the second out of power.
