In the earliest historical times, the term Assyria (Syriac:ܐܬܘܖ̈) referred to a region on the Upper Tigris river, named for its original capital, the ancient city of Assur. Later, as a nation and Empire, it also came to include roughly the northern half of Mesopotamia (the southern half being Babylonia), with Nineveh as its capital. Assyria proper was located in a mountainous region, extending along the Tigris as far as the high Gordiaean or Carduchian mountain range of Armenia, known as the "Mountains of Ashur". The Assyrian kings controlled a large kingdom at three different times in history. These are called the Old, Middle, and Neo-Assyrian kingdoms, or periods. The most powerful and best-known nation of these periods is the Neo-Assyrian kingdom, 911-612 BC. You could get more information from the link below...

Well, there IS no capital of Assyria, because Assyria does not exist anymore; however, the capitals of Assyria, when Assyria existed, WERE first, Assur, then Calah and lastly, Ninevah.

It's Ashur, spelled differently: Assur because the Greeks who recorded the city did not know how to pronounce the "sh" sound--idiots.
