Tell ‘Acharneh is located 35 km northwest of Hama, on the north bank of the Orontes River, at the crossroads of two main trade routes. This center for the production of oil, wax, and wheat was occupied during the Bronze and Iron Ages, as well as during the First Crusades. Its ancient name, Tunip, is known from second-millennium-BC sources. A stele fragment bearing an inscription of the Neo-Assyrian king Sargon II (r. 721–705 BCE) found there attests to the city’s occupation during the Iron Age.

Ashur/‘Lamban’?/‘Liba(nai)’? — by M. Roaf — last modified May 02, 2023 06:02 PM

Aššur, modern Qal'at Sherqat, is an Assyrian city on the western bank of the Tigris River. Named after its enigmatic tutelary deity, it was the original capital, ancestral home, and burial place of the Assyrian royal family. From the late third millennium B.C. until 614 B.C., when the city was captured and destroyed by the Medes, Aššur was Assyria's most important religious center. It was also Assyria's principal administrative center until the beginning of the ninth century, when Ashurnasirpal II (883-859) moved the capital to the newly constructed Calah.
