Assyrian kings built on a lavish scale. By the early 7th century BC, the city of Nineveh (now in northern Iraq) was a vast metropolis. Its palaces and temples were adorned with colossal sculptures and brilliantly coloured reliefs. Visitors entered palaces through gateways flanked by massive human-headed winged bulls (known as lamassu) that protected the king from dangerous supernatural forces. Surrounding the palaces were spectacular gardens filled with all sorts of plants and animals, irrigated by an intricate system of canals.
