Battle of Arrapha took place in 616 BC between the Assyrian forces and the Babylonians.[1] Babylonian king Nabopolassar succeeded by driving the Assyrians back to the Little Zab, in doing so capturing many Assyrian prisoners, horses, and chariots.[2] The next year, Cyaxares, king of the Medes, defeated the Assyrians and conquered Arrapha.[3]
