Ancient history

Is it true that after the Assyrians captured a city they allowed conquered people to remain in their homeland?

False. The Assyrians did not allow conquered people to remain in their homeland after capturing a city. As a part of their policy of forced displacement and assimilation, the Assyrians would deport large numbers of people from their conquered territories and resettle them in other parts of their empire. This helped maintain control over the conquered lands and prevent rebellions.
