Image description

The Capture of Carchemish by Sargon. In 717 BC Pisiris, relying upon help promised by the Phrygian king Midas, revolted from Assyria, but he was defeated and captured by Sargon, who converted Carchemish and its territory into an Assyrian province. Carchemish had been chief of the cities ruled by the Hittite aristocracy in Syria, and with its fall the Hittites ceased to have an independent political existence. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
