Maspero is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work offers an elaborate examination of the ancient civilizations of the Near East, focusing on political events and significant rulers, including a detailed discussion of the reign of Sennacherib, the Assyrian king. This volume is part of a broader chronicle that explores the interplay between these civilizations and addresses their cultural achievements, military campaigns, and sociopolitical dynamics. The opening of this volume introduces Sennacherib's tumultuous reign, depicting both his military prowess and his failure to effectively govern the diverse regions under his control. The narrative details significant events, such as Sennacherib's battles with Babylon and Judah, interspersed with episodes of rebellion and insurrection. Additionally, it highlights the interactions with neighboring powers, such as Egypt, and the consequences of Sennacherib's actions on the stability of the kingdoms in the region, ultimately leading to dramatic shifts in power dynamics that would shape the history of the Near East. The foundation of Carthage, the sociopolitical strife in Caldea, and cultural exchanges among these civilizations also receive attention, underscoring the complexity of the era.
