765 BCE to 622 BCE

Cyprus in 708 BCE encompasses seven independent kingdoms that are conquered by the Assyrian king, Sargon II.

Cypriot kings maintain considerable autonomy in domestic affairs and accumulate great wealth during the century of Assyrian dominance.

The number of city-kingdoms increases to ten, one of which is Phoenician.

The Cypriot kings are religious as well as secular leaders and generally command the city's defense forces.
