## Image Caption

Assyrian relief, from the Central [Palace](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/palace/) at [Nimrud](https://www.worldhistory.org/Kalhu/) (ancient [Kalhu](https://www.worldhistory.org/Kalhu/)), [Mesopotamia](https://www.worldhistory.org/Mesopotamia/), Iraq, [Neo-Assyrian Empire](https://www.worldhistory.org/Neo-Assyrian_Empire/), c. 728 BCE.

This is part of a series of reliefs showing Arab prisoners brought before the Assyrian King [Tiglath-Pileser III](https://www.worldhistory.org/Tiglath_Pileser_III/) (r. 744-727 BCE). The hands of two [women](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/women/) prisoners are visible on the extreme right. The prisoners are led by an Assyrian official. The king would have been shown in a panel on the left.
