【摘要】：亚述帝国的"拉科苏"(raksu)士兵是宦官长麾下国王卫队的精锐。尽管"拉科苏"士兵主要由被征服地区的人员组成,但是他们享受免赋役的特权。公元前9世纪末和公元前8世纪初,实力雄厚的亚述高官企图挑战国王的权威,国王依靠宦官长及其统帅的国王卫队保住了王位。国王论功行赏,擢升宦官长,豁免其麾下忠勇士兵的赋役,"拉科苏"士兵于是应运而生。随着大量俘虏的收编,国王卫队的规模不断扩大,进而发展成为亚述帝国的常备军,并在对外扩张中大显身手。国王奖赏常备军表现卓异的士兵,"拉科苏"士兵不时出现。亚述帝国末期,实力膨胀的宦官长觊觎王位,国王的近卫军可能是其谋逆的帮凶,"拉科苏"士兵或卷入其中。"拉科苏"士兵的出现及其功能的异化与亚述政局的变化密切相关。
[Abstract]:The Lakosu soldiers of the Assyrian Empire were the elite of the king's guard under the eunuch, although the Lakosu soldiers were mainly made up of men from the conquered areas. But they enjoyed the privilege of exemption from duty. In late 9th century BC and early 8th century BC, powerful Assyrian officials attempted to challenge the authority of the king, who relied on the eunuch and his commander-in-chief, the king's guard, to keep the throne. With the promotion of eunuchs and the exemption of loyal and brave soldiers under his command, the "Lakosu" soldiers came into being. As a large number of prisoners were collected, the King's Guards grew in size and developed into a standing army of the Assyrian Empire. The king rewarded the soldiers of the standing army, the soldiers of "Lakosu" from time to time. At the end of the Assyrian Empire, the powerful eunuchs coveted the throne. The king's guards may be his accomplices to the rebellion, and the appearance of the soldiers and the dissimilation of their functions are closely related to the changes in the political situation of Assyria.
