Sîn Gate
The northern city wall of Nineveh had three gates: the Sîn Gate was the westernmost of the three. The Neo-Assyrian king Sennacherib constructed it and called it the Gate of the Garden, which was given the Akkadian ceremonial name Igisigsig-mušammeh-ṣippāti ("The God Igisigsig Is the One Who Makes Orchards Flourish"). Late in 695 B.C. or early in 694 B.C., the gate was dedicated to the moon-god Sîn and renamed Nannāru-nāṣir-agê-bēlūtīya ("The Divine Nannāru Is the One Who Protects My Lordly Crown").
