- Summary:
- This book focuses on local powers in Old Babylonian Mesopotamia (ca. 2000--1595 BC), namely, the chief of the city (rabianum), the elders, the 'city, ' and the assembly. It is a novel approach to Old Babylonian history that allows us to understand the constituency, activities, and sphere of influence of local institutions of authority, and the way they coped with state officials and royal policies.
