The Phoenicians, in common with their neighbours, had long acknowledged Assyria as their suzerain, and had paid annual tribute. On these terms peace had been maintained for nearly a hundred and fifty years; but at length (876 BC) Assur-bani-pal marched with an army southward along the coast, and the Phoenician towns made haste to buy him off with presents.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Robert Ambrose Dudley depicts the historical event of Buying off Assur-bani-pal, showcasing a pivotal moment in Phoenician history. The Phoenicians, recognizing Assyria as their suzerain, had been paying annual tribute for nearly 150 years to maintain peace. However, in 876 BC, Assur-bani-pal marched southward along the coast with his army, prompting the Phoenician towns to quickly offer gifts to appease him.
The intricate details and dramatic composition of this print bring to life the tension and negotiation that took place between these ancient civilizations. The coastal setting adds depth and realism to the scene, emphasizing the maritime aspect of this historical encounter.
Dudley's skillful rendering captures the essence of this significant moment in history, highlighting both the power dynamics at play and the efforts made by the Phoenicians to secure peace through diplomacy rather than conflict. This artwork serves as a visual representation of a complex political relationship between neighboring nations during a time of great upheaval.
Overall, Buying off Assur-bani-pal is not only a stunning piece of art but also a window into an important chapter in ancient history that continues to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts alike.
