How does this citadel reflect the image that the Assyrians wanted to project?

What will be an ideal response?


The image the Assyrians wanted to project was projected through the Citadel in many ways. It expresses the might of the Assyrians and Sargon II. The strong defensive walls show the nature of the times, a period of almost constant warfare. The palace has a basic symmetry, however it does ramble across the landscape. It is a grand expression of the power and might of the Assyrians in general and Sargon II in particular.
