Los relieves del "Palacio sin Rival" de Senaquerib

Abstract

Trough this article we will try to look closely to the iconographyc program which the neoasirian soverign Sennacherib wanted to develop in its "Palace without Rival". The many reliefs which Layard exposed, have shown not only a vivid interest for the graphic representations of the sovereign pow- er through their military victories, but also the style innovations which wanted to offer the image of the empire. "The Palace Without Rival" was conceived like more distinction of between all the neoassirian palaces, and in his reliefs one shows us great part of his history and of his reign.
