As a result of its geographic position, Assyria served as a forum for international trade. Communities that were not self-contained economically and were vulnerable to crop failure depended upon the surpluses of their neighbors. Hence the direct link between trade and war in ancient Assyria. The abundance of copper, bronze and iron in the region prompted the development of weapons, tools, utensils and even shoes for horses! Assyrians were truly great innovators and masters of their environment. In the arts and sciences, Assyrians exhibited great talents. From the ground plans of temples and palaces, through furniture, jewelry, carved ivories and cylinder seals, to sculptures, wall paintings and reliefs, Assyrians have made a significant contribution to the humanities. Assyrian Astrology related primarily to affairs of the state, and its predictions were arrived at by applying traditional interpretations to current events in the heavens, such as eclipses, rings around the moon or positions of the planets. Assyrian medicine was comprised of oils, wine, salt and plants. These natural products were used to alleviate symptoms and cure aliments.
