There are two main reasons why the Neo-Assyrian Empire became so powerful between 934 Ã? 610 B.C. First, through this era, the power of Assyria was largely dependent on the success of its army (Saggs, 1962). Winer (1961) states that the Assyrian military perfected the art of war. During this time period, some 180 punitive expeditions or campaigns were launched against foreign foes, rebellious vassals or other anti-Assyrian groups (Olmstead, 1923). Second, the Assyrians developed an efficient and effective administrative system with which to maintain, supply and expand their empire.
