Adad Gate
wall · 720 BC – 2100 AD
The northern city wall of Nineveh had three gates: the Adad Gate was the easternmost of the three. The Neo-Assyrian king Sennacherib constructed it and gave it the Akkadian ceremonial name Adad-šārik-hegalli-ana-māti, which means "The God Adad Is the Provider of Prosperity to the Land."
