Publisher's Summary

The Assyrian Empire was a Mesopotamian kingdom and empire of the ancient Middle East that existed as a state from perhaps as early as the 25th century BC until it fell apart between 612 BC and 609 BC - spanning the periods of the Bronze Age to the late Iron Age.  

Babylonia was an area in central-southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq and Syria). It was only a small provincial town during the Akkadian Empire (2335–2154 BC) yet it greatly expanded during Hammurabi's reign in the 18th century BC. It was often involved in wars with Assyria to the north. Like Assyria, the Babylonian state kept the written Akkadian language.  

This classic work on the social life of the citizens of Assyria and Babylon covers the following topics:   

  • Chapter I: The People 
  • Chapter II: How the People Lived 
  • Chapter III: Education 
  • Chapter IV: Marriage and Death 
  • Chapter V: The Market. The Money-Lender, and The Tenant 
  • Chapter VI: Slavery and The Agricultural Labourer 
  • Chapter VII: Trades and Professions 
  • Chapter VIII: The Religion of The People
