Pobjednička stela Esarhadona
Stela prikazuje Esarhadona kako stoji s lijeve strane u počasnom položaju. U lijevoj ruci drži buzdovan, zajedno s užetom koje završava prstenom i prolazi kroz usne dvojice pokorenih kraljeva koji kleče pred njim. Njegova desna ruka obraća se bogovima. Klinasto pismo prekriva cijelu scenu srednjeg bas reljefa.

Asshur
second son of Shem (Gen 10:22; 1Chr 1:17). He went from the land of Shinar and built Nineveh, etc. (Gen 10:11; 10:12). He probably gave his name to Assyria, which is the usual translation of the word, although the form Asshur is sometimes retained (Num 24:22; 24:24; Ezek 27:23), etc. In (Gen 2:14) "Assyria" ought to be "Asshur," which was the original capital of Assyria, a city represented by the mounds of Kalah Sherghat, on the west bank of the Tigris. This city was founded by Bel-kap-kapu about B.C. 1700. At a later date the capital was shifted to Ninua, or Nineveh, now Koyunjik, on the eastern bank of the river. (See CALAH; NINEVEH)
