ANTIQUITIES DreVos

The present volume contains a complete reproduction in collotype of the hammered and engraved bronze bands which ornamented a pair of wooden gates set up at the entrance to a palace of Shalmaneser, King of Assyria B.C. 860-825. In it are also included reproductions of two bronze bands from a smaller pair of gates, which we now know were made by Ashur-nasir-pal, from whom Shalmaneser inherited the palace. The scenes upon these larger gates illustrate the principal incidents of a series of campaigns which were conducted by Shalmaneser during the first

thirteen years of his reign, and the scenes upon the bands from the smaller gates are also of a military character
