735 BC - SAMARIA TRIBUTARY TO PUL

## MAIN EVENTS

### 743-724 BC - First Sparta-Messenian War

In 743 BC, bad relations between the Doric Spartans of Lacedaemon, and their Achaean neighbors, the Messenians, came to a head, and a long and bitter war broke out between the two sides in the Peloponnese.

### 740 BC - Tiglath-pileser sacks Arpad

After a three year siege, Assyrian forces of Pulu (Tiglath-pileser III) were able to sack Arpad and recover territory from Sarduri II of Urartu in 740 BC. Also in 740 BC, Jotham succeeded Uzziah in his own right as king of Judah, Rezon II of Damascus became independent from Menahem of Samaria, and Pulu managed to subject the Ammonite kingdom as an Assyrian vassal, that had been a vassal of Judah under Uzziah for about 30 years.

### 738 BC - Assyrians subject Samaria, Damascus and Byblos

In 738 BC Pulu of Assyria went on to exact tribute by force from Menahem of Samaria, Rezin of Damascus, Queen Zebiba of Qedar, and Byblos (Gebal) in Phoenicia, making certain these were all Assyrian client states now.

In Samaria, Menahem was succeeded later in 738 BC by his son Pekahiah, and he by the officer Pekah in a military coup in 737 BC; both continued pagan practices in Samaria. Toward the end of 735 BC, Pekah of Samaria and Rezin of Damascus would again overthrow their Assyrian overlordship.

### 735 BC - Venno and Helto in Franconia

After kings Myela and Laber of Franconia / Boigeria, Aventinus assigns 70 years (ca. 735-665 BC) to kings Venno and Helto, who clearly also ruled in the northeastern part of Italia, signifying an expansion of Walia. These kings' relationship to anyone else is not mentioned, and it seems more probable that one followed the other, perhaps with a shorter co-reign.

The final king of Tyrrhenia, aka Tuscania or Etruria, to be listed in the so-called *Manethonian Supplement*, is Caelius, 762-741 BC. The Etruscans seem to have continued as a polity or league until finally subjected by the Romans c. 283 BC.
