** Holofernes was a general under orders from the Persian king Artaxerxes III, and had nothing to do with Assyria or Babylon (which had long been defeated by that point).

** Holofernes was a general under orders from the Persian king Artaxerxes III, and had nothing to do with Assyria or Babylon (which had long been defeated by that point). Yet another explanation is that it's a entirely fictional story from a post-Maccabean writer who was much more familiar with the (then) recent Greek history than the old Assyrian, Babilonia, and Persian history.

** The war against Bethulia, as described here, here (with a few defenders outnumbered by a larger army leaded by a Persian general, helped only by a thin mountain pass which prevents the larger army from passing through), resembles more the Battle of Thermopylae than anything that actually happened in Jewish land.

* AnachronismStew: King Nebuchadnezzar is mentioned here as being the king of Assyria, whereas he was actually the king of Babylon, whose kingdom defeated that of Assyria by Nebuchadnezzar's father Nabopolassar. A Catholic Bible commentary suggests that this is actually an Assyrian king that went by this name who was a contemporary of King Manasseh of Judah, and thus should not be confused with the Babylonian king. Another possible explanation is that the whole story is a RomanAClef about a situation happening at the time the story was written, using a mashing of characters and locations from the Jews' past to tell it.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Besides the anachronism of King Nebuchadnezzar being the king of Assyria when he wasn't, the story also assumes to have taken place after the Jews have returned from their Babylonian exile, which according to history as defined in basic Scripture canon is after the Assyrian Empire and the Babylonian Empire have both been vanquished, thus its possible RomanAClef status.
