Panels from Tiglath-pileser III's palace, Nimrud3D Model
Gypsum wall panel relief: shows a city captured, its inhabitants and animals being driven away. The city is surrounded by a double wall fortified with turrets and battlements. The walls are crenellated but have no openings. Three square gateways with double doors lead into the city, within which a date-palm grows. This indicates that this scene is laid in Babylonia. On a low platform in front of the walls, apparently made by the Assyrians for the attack, stand two battering rams (of that to the left only traces visible). They are not in action because the city is already taken. A scribe writes to an officer’s dictation as women and children are driving away in bullock-carts with eight-spoked wheels.
