Named after a mythical trial of the god Ares, the Areopagus is a rocky outcropping in Athens located to the northwest of the acropolis. The hill was used as a meeting place for the Council of the Areopagus which functioned as a council of elders for the city of Athens. The Areopagus is also traditionally identified as the setting for Paul's sermon to Athens.

Northwest Palace at Kalhu

An impressive and ornately-decorated palace constructed at Kalḫu (modern Nimrud, biblical Calah) by the ninth-century-BC Assyrian ruler Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883–859 BC), likely completed between 865 and 869 BC. This multi-winged palatial complex served as the primary residence and chief administrative center of the Assyrian Empire until Sargon II (r. 721–705 BC) moved the imperial capital to Dūr-Šarrukīn in 706 BC. The Northwest Palace, the name given to it by its excavators (since it was built in the northwestern part of Kalḫu’s citadel), remained in use until the very end of the Assyrian Empire (612 BC). The southern half of the building also functioned as the burial place of prominent royal women, including Mullissu-mukannišat-Ninua, the wife of Ashurnasirpal and the mother of Shalmaneser III.

Nimrud

In the ninth century BC, Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883-859 BC) built himself a new administrative center. Kalhu (biblical Calah) — modern Nimrud, a site identified as Larissa, a city mentioned in Xenophon’s Anabasis — became the capital of the Assyrian Empire, replacing Ashur, which had served as Assyria’s capital since the third millennium BC. The city — which is located twenty miles south of the modern Mosul and which occupied a strategic position six miles north of the point where the Tigris River meets the Greater/Upper Zab — served as Assyria’s capital until the reign of Sargon II (r. 721–705 BC). Although Kalhu never again became the primary residence of Assyria’s kings, that city remained a vital administrative, military, and religious center until the fall of the Assyrian Empire.

Northwest Palace at Kalhu

An impressive and ornately-decorated palace constructed at Kalḫu (modern Nimrud, biblical Calah) by the ninth-century-BC Assyrian ruler Ashurnasirpal II (r. 883–859 BC), likely completed between 865 and 869 BC. This multi-winged palatial complex served as the primary residence and chief administrative center of the Assyrian Empire until Sargon II (r. 721–705 BC) moved the imperial capital to Dūr-Šarrukīn in 706 BC. The Northwest Palace, the name given to it by its excavators (since it was built in the northwestern part of Kalḫu’s citadel), remained in use until the very end of the Assyrian Empire (612 BC). The southern half of the building also functioned as the burial place of prominent royal women, including Mullissu-mukannišat-Ninua, the wife of Ashurnasirpal and the mother of Shalmaneser III.
