Book Chapter
Assyria and the Far South
2017
Overview
The emergence of the Arabs as significant political players was primarily owed to the large‐scale introduction of domesticated dromedary camels in southern Syria and on the Arabian Peninsula around the turn of the millennium. During its imperial phase, Assyria interacted with various states, cities, and tribes in southern Syria, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Persian Gulf region. This chapter provides a short overview of Assyro‐Arabian relations during the Neo‐Assyrian period. The overview is mostly based on the testimony of Assyrian royal inscriptions, letters, and a few other cuneiform texts. Assyrian encounters with other places in the “far south” were more peaceful and limited to trade and diplomacy. In the east, Assyrian contacts reached from Dilmun to Qade in modern Oman; in the western part of the Arabian Peninsula, the oasis town of Tema played an important role in Arabian‐Assyrian trade.
