When people talk about Ancient Syria, they are referring to the Ancient countries that existed where the country of Syria exists now, especially the area near to Damascus and Aleppo (in the west). The most common civilization referred to by Ancient Syria is Aramea, a secondary power in the Middle East that was evenly matched by the two Israelite Kingdoms for hegemony in the Levant, and the origin-country for the Aramaic language.

Assyria, by contrast, was an ancient civilization that was predominantly located in what is today northern Iraq (particularly the lands under Islamic State control as of 2015). Assyria eventually conquered Aramea, but the center of the civilization never shifted away from Ninevah (which is modern Ninewa in northern Iraq).

What are the differences between Babylonia and Assyria?

The two neighboring sister-states of ancient Mesopotamia competed for dominance and as such grew widely different in character. Assyria and Babylonia were parts of the ancient Mesopotamia. When the Assyrian empire fell in 612 B.C., Babylonia stepped in and became the most powerful state in ancient Mesopotamia. Assyria occupied a highland region north of Babylonia on the east side of the Tigris. Located at the eastern end of the Fertile Crescent, Babylonia was situated between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now present day Iraq.
