Stele Of Tell al-Rimah And Deeds Of Assyrian King Adad-nirari Against Rebellious Kings
A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - Stele of Tell al-Rimah, dated to 796 BC, is a stone stela from the reign of the Assyrian king Adad-nirari III (810-783 BC) found in 1967 during archaeological excavations at the site of Tell al-Rimah in Nineveh Province, in northern Iraq, near Jebel Sinjar.

Based on general information, during the reign of Shamshi-Adad V, Shalmaneser III's successor, Assyria's influence in the West significantly waned; the next monarch, Adad-Nirari III, reversed this trend with successful military campaigns.
It is seen in the Tel al-Rimah stele, which depicts the king with an inscription carved across his waist and religious symbols above him. Though the part of the inscription naming Nergal-fresh was erased after his downfall, it is still legible.
