Ashurbanipal [a] ( Neo-Assyrian Akkadian: 𒀸𒋩𒆕𒀀, romanized: Aššur-bāni-apli, [10] [b] meaning " Ashur is the creator of the heir") [3] [12] was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 669 BC to his death in 631. He is generally remembered as the last great king of Assyria.

Only the stele of Sammu-rāmat was found in situ. The stele of Libbāli-šarrat was found in the post-imperial building; it was apparently in secondary use as a floor pavement. The stele of Sennacherib’s queen was also removed from its original place, probably deliberately, as was its inscription.
