{"product_id":"9780199218721","title":"The World of Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History","description":"In the early 12th century, the Late Bronze Age Hittite empire collapsed during a series of upheavals which swept the Greek and Near Eastern worlds. In the subsequent Iron Age, numerous cities and states emerged in south-eastern Anatolia and northern Syria, which are generally known today as the \"Neo-Hittite kingdoms.\" Bryce's volume gives an account of the military and political history of these kingdoms, moving beyond the Neo-Hittites themselves to the broader Near Eastern world and the states which dominated it during the Iron Age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDivided into three sections, \u003cem\u003eThe World of Neo-Hittite Kingdoms\u003c\/em\u003e looks at the last decades of the empire and the features of these kingdoms and their subsequent treatment under their Anatolian successors. Through a closer look at the individual Neo-Hittite kingdoms and their rulers and a comparison with the contemporary Aramaean states and the other kingdoms of the age—notably the Neo-Assyrian empire —it concludes with a historical synthesis of the Neo-Hittites when the last kingdom was absorbed into the Assyrian provincial administration.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42900687257661,"sku":"9780199218721","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9780199218721_p0.jpg?v=1771574704","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.mom\/products\/9780199218721","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
