He ruled from his massive capital at Nineveh, in present-day Iraq, where temples and palaces adorned with brilliantly carved sculptures dominated the citadel mound, and an elaborate system of aqueducts and canals brought water to the king's pleasure gardens. Ashurbanipal, proud of his scholarship, assembled the greatest library in existence during his reign. Guided by this knowledge, he defined the course of the Assyrian empire and asserted his claim to be 'king of the world'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeautifully illustrated and written by an international team of experts, this book features images of objects excavated from all corners of the empire.
