This gate has been tentatively identified as the Anu Gate (Alexander Sollee). Because there is no one-to-one correlation between Sargon’s inscriptions and available archaeological evidence, the proposed identification of the ancient name of Khorsabad Citadel Gate B remains open to debate. Since the gates of the city wall are named in Sargon’s inscriptions, it is unlikely that the Anu Gate was part of the citadel wall.
