The Assyrians rulers divided the empire and the 70 smaller units of government called provinces. They assigned a governor to each province to report directly to the assyrian ruler. What was the goal of this technique?

Answer 1

The goal of this technique was to maintain control and order throughout the empire. By dividing the empire into provinces and assigning a governor to each one, the Assyrian rulers could ensure that each region was properly managed and any issues were reported back to them. This also allowed them to decentralize power and prevent any single region or individual from gaining too much influence.
