This volume offers a groundbreaking reassessment of the destructions that allegedly occurred at sites across the eastern Mediterranean at the end of the Late Bronze Age, and challenges the numerous grand theories that have been put forward to account for them. The author demonstrates that earthquakes, warfare, and destruction all played a much smaller role in this period than the literature of the past several decades has claimed, and makes the case that the end of the Late Bronze Age was a far less dramatic and more protracted process than is generally believed.

Esarhaddon, King of Assyria continues Josette Elayis narrative journey through the lives of the kings of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. Using both archaeological and textual evidence, Elayi examines the contentious circumstances surrounding Esarhaddons accession to the throne in 681 BCE, his rebuilding of Babylon, which had been destroyed by his father Sennacherib, his successful campaigns in Media, the Arabian Peninsula, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and the Levant, and his ultimate achievement, the conquest of Egypt in 671 BCE. Throughout, Elayi presents a rich portrait of this enigmatic figure, whose short but impactful reign was plagued by chronic illness and a complex--and ultimately fatal--relationship with his court officials. Yet, through it all, Esarhaddon emerges as one of the most scholarly and most politically successful kings of the empire.

Non disprezzare i nostri replica Antonio. Anche i Greci scrissero in principio come Catone, come Fabio Pittore, come Pisone. La storia non era altro che una fabbrica dannali; e per questo, cioe per conservare le pubbliche memorie, dalle origini di Roma fino al pontificato di Mucio, il Pontefice massimo raccoglieva tutti gli avvenimenti dei singoli anni, li scriveva nellalbo e poneva dinanzi alla sua casa la tavola, perche il popolo potesse consultarla. Son quelli che si chiamano anche oggi annali massimi. E molti seguirono questo stile lasciando senzornarlo soltanto il ricordo dei tempi, degli uomini, dei luoghi e delle imprese. Percio come i Greci hanno Ferecide, Ellanico, e Acusilas, cosi noi abbiamo Catone, Pisone e Fabio Pittore, che non sanno come ornare unorazione (da poco infatti e stata importata presso di noi questarte); e purche si capisca quello che dicono, credono che bisogna soltanto ricercare la brevita.1
