Abstrakt
Theancientregion of Adiabenecorresponds to the area of the so-called “Assyrian triangle” situated between the Lesser zab and Tigris rivers. our knowledge of the history of the kingdom of Adiabene during the Seleucid and Parthian Periods is very limited. Scant information scattered throughout the works of Greek and Latin historiographers and material brought to light by excavations on the sites within the supposed borders of Adiabene (Assur, Nineveh, Kalhu), are insufficient for a comprehensive reconstruction of its political history, first under Seleucid, and later Parthian, suzerainty. In its beginnings Adiabene was probably one of the provinces established by Seleukos I in the 290s in the course of theadministrative organisation of his newly founded empire (GRAINGER 1990: 134–135). No direct information isavailablefor the 3rd and 2nd c. BC, butalready during the 1st c. BC Adiabene apparently held a status of regional kingdom and was considered part of Babylonia, although with its own ruler (Strabo, geography XvI.1.19). In 69 BC, an unknown “king of Adiabeni” was even able to aid Tigranes II against Lucullus (Plutarch, the Parallel lives: lucullus 26, 27). Unfortunately, neither the approximate date nor general circumstances of the emergence of the Adiabenian royal house are known.
