Ashur-dan II

Ashur-dan II

Ashur-Dan II was King of Assyria. He succeeded his father, Tiglath-Pileser II, in 935 and reigned until his death in 912 BC, when he was succeeded by his son Adad-nirari II.Ashur-dan II would concentrate on rebuilding Assyria within its natural borders, from Tur Abdin to the foothills beyond Arbel. He built government offices in all provinces, and as an economic boost, provided ploughs throughout the land, which yielded record grain production. He was followed by four able kings, who used the foundation which he had laid to make Assyria the major world power of its time.
