Abstract
Political relations between Assyrian and Median Empires are investigated in this paper on the basis of Assyrian inscriptions, with a focus on official correspondences. These inscriptions were in exchange among the capital and the regional centers under the Assyrian dominance, and in which different political issues were reported to the king and his orders were issued. Therefore these inscriptions impartially narrate the details of the events.
