Assyria

Fall of Assur

614 BC
Assur, Assyria (Present-Day in Iraq)

Despite the sorely depleted state of Assyria, bitter fighting ensued; throughout 614 BC the Medes continued to gradually make hard-fought inroads into Assyria itself, scoring a decisive and devastating victory over the Assyrian forces at the battle of Assur.
