Nergal Gate
The northern city wall of Nineveh had three gates: the Nergal Gate was middle gate. The Neo-Assyrian king Sennacherib constructed it and gave it the Akkadian ceremonial names Erra-mušamqit-ayyābī ("The God Erra Is the One Who Cuts Down Enemies") and Erra-šāgiš-zāmânīya ("The God Erra Is the One Who Cuts Down My Enemies").
