Adad-nirari III succeeds his father Shamshi-Adad V …
Years: 813BCE - 802BCE
Adad-nirari III succeeds his father Shamshi-Adad V as king of Assyria in 811 BCE.
Queen Sammuramat serves as regent for her son Adad-Nirari III from 810 to 805.
(Sammuramat is evidently the basis for the Ishtar-like, deified mythological Queen Semiramis, wife of Ninus, founder of Nineveh. Semiramis was abandoned by her mother, the fish goddess Derceto, and nurtured by doves. After Ninus died, Semiramis ruled in the place of their son Ninyus for many years. According to the legend, she founded Babylon and led successful campaigns against Persia, Egypt, Libya, and Ethiopia. When her son plotted against her, she disappeared in the shape of a dove.)
