From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Adaside dynasty,[2] also known as the Adasi dynasty,[3][4] was the ruling dynasty of ancient Assyria for most of the kingdom's history, being founded during the Old Assyrian period through the accesion of Bel-bani, the son of a usurper by the name Adasi, to the Assyrian throne c. 1700 BC and losing power with the deposition and death of Shalmaneser V in 722 BC during the Neo-Assyrian period, nearly a thousand years later. The Sargonid dynasty, which succeeded Shalmaneser V and ruled until the end of the Assyrian Empire in 609 BC, may or may not have been a branch of the Adaside dynasty.[4]
