Post-Hittite states
The post-Hittite states were states which appeared in the ancient Near East following the collapse of the Hittite Empire. Post-Hittite states included the Neo-Hittite states (states which continued Hittite imperial tradition), and other states which were not Neo-Hittite, for example Aram-Damascus (an Aramean state) or Phrygia.[1] The Neo-Assyrian Empire has also been labeled as post-Hittite because it flourished after the collapse of the Hittite Empire.[1] The corresponding period is called the post-Hittite period.[2]
