The Assyrian supremacy was rejected, and once more Babylon was free. The revolt lasted for some years. When it began we do not know; but it was not till B.C. 648 that it was finally suppressed, and Saul-suma-yukin put to death after a reign of twenty years. Babylon had been closely invested, and was at last starved into surrender.
His fame spread to Europe; the whole of the civilised world acknowledged his supremacy. But the image was one which had feet of clay. The empire had been won by the sword, and the sword alone kept it together. Suddenly a revolt broke out which shook it to its foundations. Babylonia took the lead; the other subject nations followed in its train. Saul-suma-yukin had become naturalised in Babylonia.
