Ashur-dan II

Ashur-Dan II (Aššur-dān) (934–912 BC), son of Tiglath Pileser II, was the last king of the Middle Assyrian Empire, that contributed to the efforts that led to the birthing of the Neo-Assyrian Empire. He was best known for recapturing previously held Assyrian territory and restoring Assyria to its natural borders, from Tur Abdin (southeast Turkey) to the foothills beyond Arbel (Iraq). The reclaimed territory through his conquest was fortified with horses, ploughs, and grain stores. His military and economic expansions benefited four subsequent generations of kings that replicated his model. Read more on Wikipedia
