Resumo
This article discusses some of the less well-known evidence attesting to the existence of diplomatic links between South Arabia and Assyria in the 7th century B.C. Karib'il Watar's relationship with Assyria is analysed. The evidence of gift exchange between the two states is examined. The implications of this pattern of ties is also studied in light of evidence for caravan traffic between the two regions.
