Sumario:During the first years of his reign Aššurbanipal had to face diverse coalitions, and specially the one promoted by his stepbrother IamaXumukin, at that time king of Babylon. This inscription recounts the destruction of Babylon and IamaXumukin's death. With dramatic dyes and brushstrokes of tragic pathos the destruction of AXXurbanipal´s enemies is described. The text we offer in this paper corresponds to the columns IIIrd and IVth of the A prism of AXXurbanipal, from the IIIrd 70-135 (= in our text 1-66) and to the IVth 41-109 (= in our text 67-135).
