Lib, vi, c. 26. BOOK IV. HISTORY CONNECTED. L63 Ninus was of an enterprising and ambitions spirit. He began tbe first war?^ and broke^ the peace of the world. Babylonia was an adjacent country, too near him to lie ont of his view and desires. He coveted to enlarge his empire ; and having prepared his people for it, he easily overran his neighbours, who were employed in cultivating other arts, but were inexpert at war. He in a little time subdued the Babylonians. Diodorus Siculus^ makes particul...ar mention of this con- quest of Babylonia, in words very agreeable to the circumstances of these times. " Ninus, " says he, '^ the king of Assyria, assisted by a king of the Arabians, invaded the Babylonians with a powerful army. The present Babylon was not then built, but there were in the country of Ba- bylonia other cities of figure. He easily reduced these his neighbours, who had no great skill in war, and laid them under tribute. " After Ninus had subdued the Babylonians, he began to think of conquering other nations ; and in a few years overran many of the infant states of Asia ; and so by uniting kingdom to kingdom, he laid the foundation of the Assyrian empire.
