At its height, Aram stretched from the Mount Lebanon range eastward across the Euphrates, including parts of the Khabur River valley in northwestern Mesopotamia on the border of Iraq. The region was known as The Land of the Amurru during the Akkadian Empire, Neo-Sumerian Empire and Old Assyrian Empire in reference to its largely Amorite inhabitants. During the Neo-Assyrian Empire, the Neo-Babylonian Empire and the Achaemenid Empire, Aram was known as Eber-Nari.
