Quick Summary

Arik-den-ili was a king of Assyria who reigned from approximately 1308 to 1297 BCE. During his rule, he campaigned westward against Semitic tribes known as the Akhlamu group. His reign was part of a period of Assyrian expansion, following Ashur-uballit I, who is considered the founder of the Assyrian empire. Arik-den-ili's successors, Adad-nirari I and Shalmaneser I, continued to expand Assyrian influence and power throughout Mesopotamia and beyond.1
