Nineveh . Nineveh , the capital of Assyria , was situated on the eastern bank of the river Tigris , opposite the present Mosul , about 280 miles north of Babylon , 400 ne of Damascus , in latitude 36 degrees 20 minutes n longitude 73 degrees 10 minutes e. It was not only a very ancient . Genesis 10 . 11 , but also a very great city. Strabo says that it was much larger than Babylon , the circuit of which he estimates at 385 furlongs; and , according to Diodorus Siculus , it was an oblong parallelogram , extending 150 furlongs in length , 90 in breadth , and 480 in circumference , i.e. , about 20 miles long , 12 broad , and 60 in compass. This agrees with the account given here of its being "an exceeding great city of three days' journey ," i.e. , in circuit; for 20 miles a day was the common computation for a pedestrian. It was surrounded by large walls 100 feet high , so broad that three chariots could drive abreast on them , and defended by 1 ,500 towers 200 feet in height. See notes on Nahum.
