755 BC - 727 BC
Tiglath-Pileser III (Neo-Assyrian cuneiform: Tukultī-apil-Ešarra, meaning "my trust belongs to the son of Ešarra"; Biblical Hebrew: תִּגְלַת פִּלְאֶסֶר Tīglaṯ Pīlʾeser) was the king of the Neo-Assyrian Empire from 745 BC to his death in 727. One of the most prominent and historically significant Assyrian kings, Tiglath-Pileser ended a period of Assyrian stagnation, introduced numerous political and military reforms and more than doubled the lands under Assyrian control. Because of the massive expansion and centralization of Assyrian territory and establishment of a standing army, some researchers consider Tiglath-Pileser's reign to mark the true transition of Assyria into an empire.
